i love how they call it "SILENT Heatpipe" :D

still a unlocked 5000+ is better than what is out now... I was hope n 4 more... I think they are just trying to sell there 90nm chips so they are looking for some way to make people want to buy them.

seems like all we got out of it was phenom drivers, the new cpu and the release of the 2900pro.

So where in the heck is the press release?

the press release is about the 2900pro. though idk how snakes and black and dark and evil have to do with it.

Athlon™ 64 X2 Black Edition

it matchs the black and do you dare thing more then the 2900pro, gotta go with that, but is that the press release?

Why don't they just release the damned Phenom and be done with it?

If its 2900pro or some unlocked CPU, then that snake bull$h!t was gay. AMD needs to create a dissent product which they haven't had for a long time now. I mean I was sitting on AMD and ATi for 3 years straight and recently decided to upgrade my system again, and my only choices where intel and nVidia.

Well lets hope this cpu is going to be greatest overclocker

Well it is a 65mm chip(65 Watt) and will be unlocked. I bet you can hit 3.5 with it, and find one for 150USD.

i want i want i want i want i want... also isn't it 2mb cache?

iu dont think any amd chip has ever had 2mb of L2 except for the barcelona

AthlonX2iu dont think any amd chip has ever had 2mb of L2 except for the barcelona

correct sir

AthlonX2iu dont think any amd chip has ever had 2mb of L2 except for the barcelona

by 2mb i meant 1mb per core

It's September 25th, and I have yet to see anything official from AMD...

when is this unlocked CPU going to be released? I am not sure i want to get one now after seeing the prices the Intel quads are going to be when the 45nm are released.

p_o_s_pcby 2mb i meant 1mb per core
