AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ surfaces

Darksaber · Aug 15, 2006

Seems like AMD may still releases chips with 2x1MB cache. Previous price lists and news mentioned that the 2x1MB feature will be unique to the FX series, but according to OC.com.tw the upcoming X2 5200+ still features 2x1MB cache. It is always easier to add heaps of cache, than to increase the MHz, so AMD is going that way, trying to fight Intels Core 2 Duo.

This is nothing new... AM2's 4800+ and many others still has 2x1MB L2..

why not just call it fx-60?

Because it's not unlocked.

And this thing better be under $250 at least.

Just wondering what kind of socket is this cpu for??
Do you they will ever make this to support 939 socket

pt · Aug 15, 2006

This is SKT AM2, i think there is already one for skt 939

Doesnt Matter...

As much as I love AMD, it doesnt matter what they do right now, they wont be able to fend off Conroe. I hate to say it, but Intel learned from the pwning AMD has handed it the last several years. Now, they should do a minor change and make their cpus faster like the conroe did.

amds going to smoke intel next summer anywaay w/ the new chips its not even going to be funny (plus intel is releasing chips to compete w/ the new amds and when was the last time intel got something right twice in a row???)

Cool, I know when its time to snoop the garbage cans for half-eaten dual cores.

Seriously though, all this competiton means price drops!

I agree with this guy, computers are too expensive now a days

yeah its a load of bs prices now though you can get a s am2 sempron 3000 for $60 and it has a 256k so its not absoulutly horrible oh adn the 2800 is hitting 3.1ghz stock voltages stock cooling think what you could do w/ double the L2 cache
