AMD 65 nanometre chips available

[Metroid]

Brisbane, Orleans Athlons available today

THE WAIT FOR AMD 65 nanometre CPUs is over. At least, this is what on-line stores indicate today.

Although Friday is usually the day when things are placed on catalogues so that on-line shoppers could happily shop during weekend, a certain e-store placed several new products on its site Saturday morning.

This would not be so interesting if those products were not the ones that were the subject of major Intel bashing during IDF ("We've shipped 40 million 65nm CPUs, our competition didn't ship one," bellowed Kicking Pat). But now Socket AM2 just got its long-awaited 65nm answer.

The CPUs are marked Revision F2, and the maximum TDP varies between 65W and 89W - in the real world, 55-62W and 72-81W is expected - depending on the number of cores, of course. The advertised features are Cool'n'Quiet, NX-Flag, SSE3 and Pacifica.

There are also 65nm EEs available, albeit in far lower volumes than their non-economic counter-parts.

We're expecting the first overclocking reports on these CPUs next week, so if you're unsure how much headroom the first generation 65nm has, it won't hurt to wait a bit longer. µ

I wonder how they will do.

[DryFire]

Has anyone actually found one online?

[informal]

Umm,it says(the on line shop site) that they are 90nm RevF chips ,so i think it's a typo...yeah,we had simmilar confusion earlier when New Egg listed Brisbanes(but they were Windsors at the end...).
I think these are yet another "news" from our beloved Inq.
But i wish they are indeed 65 nm RevGs.It would be great.

Does the guy even follow his links? Can he read?

90nm.

Rev F2 ( = 90nm )

Orleans = 90nm part name

And one "Brisbane" mistake

----------------

This guy needs an editor.

You have to love the part he simply made up -- "expecting overclocking results next week" -- yeah, sure you are Theo.

Maybe the tabloid idiot is hoping for an XS member to get an ES sample by then

Anything theinq writes cant be taken seriously, sometimes sure they hit something. but its like 75% fantasy crap and 25% real life stuff.

i want to see overclocking with overclocking with 65nm

[Varsos]

They better overclock good guys because the last 5 months i'm attracted by "The Dark Side" Pleeeease Master Yoda (AMD).....HEEELLLPPPPPP

[LexDiamonds]

They will need to be hitting 3.6ish for me to come back from the darkside.

[Peter949]

That would be nice for them to oc near or past c2ds. I'm contemplating going Intel also.

[Varsos]

Well a 3.2G - 3.4G would be nice but we all know that Amd's first revisions are a little crap.Anyway i hope for the best. "May the Force Be With Us"

That's strange.
I remember OCForums' NewEgg rep was informed about this mistake some months ago...
