A few weeks from now, AMD server owners will get a nice 200MHz per core speed upgrade with the Opteron 185, 285 and 885 series CPU. The Opteron 185 is virtually identical to the Athlon FX-60 -- 2.6GHz per core, 2x1MB L2 cache, 90nm SOI process.

Actual date is March 7th - Opty 185 (same as FX-60) will cost over $900 which is less than FX-60 (over $1K).

Opterons are still locked Upwards... so not really dual "FX" anything... good CPU and all, if you can do with the 13 and lower multipliers. I know I can ;)
