AMD Athlon Series X2BE Hit Retail Stores
AMD announced the X2BE line of cpus late last month but until now we had yet to see them available for purchase. However after almost a month the X2BE line is starting to populate online stores.
The 2 models that have been spoted are the Athlon X2 BE-2300 which costs around 90$ and the Athlon BE-2350 at around $95. The X2BE line is based on the oldest AMD cpu codename Brisbane but offers lower thermal ratings at 45-watts along with 2x512KB of L2 cache, 2000 MHz HyperTransport speed and AMD Virtualization technology.
So far AMD has only announced these two models , clocked at 2.1 GHz (BE-2350) and 1.9 GHz (BE-2300) but according to rumors AMD plans to release a third model, the 2.3 GHz Athlon X2 BE-2400 in late August.
