(Taipei) the photo shows AMDs two-core processor Athlon 64 X2 5000+, manufactured in the 90-Nanometer-Verfahren. The CCU works with twice 2667 MHz and falls back per core to 1 MT L2-Cache. The reference clock rises from 200 to 333 MHz. The frequency of the hypertransportation interface, which amounts to bi-directional 250 (effectively 1000, remains unchanged) MHz. The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ is had AMDs first CCU for the base M2 with 940 signal contacts and an integrated DDR2-Speichercontroller. The CONTROLLER is to support Ddr2-667, but also Ddr2-800 later according to our source of information not only. Similarly to it then the reference clock rises to 400 MHz. The base M2 again is allegedly in such a way laid out that it can take up also future AMD CPUs with integrated DDR3-Speicher-Controller. If these information is correct, the M2-Sockel to at least 2008 might perform its service.

It also has info about 939 Sempron.

Interesting :thumbsup:

What about the ondie PCI controller...any news on that (or was it ondie PCIe controller?)

Nice specs :)

it was ondie PCIe controller i think, but thats for a later CPU i think.

the thing im mostly interested in is if the rumors for a release in 1st Q 2006 are true.

yeah but not for M2...for Socket 939... (Q1) :)

If those specs are correct then AMD's numbering system is shot. Previous convention on 939 would make the 5000+ a 2.6ghz 512k part, so unless there is a penalty for using ddr2 (which at 667 3-2-2-x is more than competative with anything ddr has to offer) the numbering scheme will be confusing to say the least with the migration to M2. Also, makes me wnder what the fx-60 will be, as the specs for the 5000+ are pretty much what I expected the fx-60 to be.
