AMD X2 6500+ coming

[Macadamia]

But gOJDO is right on one part. 6500+ will have to compete with some stiff competition from other AMD processors. I don't think AMD used this name for without a reason. Why would they name it 6500+ and list it for a lower price than a 6400+? I hope I'm wrong here. In the OEM these will mean one thing that might be fine for AMD. But in this market that might be the case. Think about it? If folks are complaining about Nehalem overclocks, 3.2GHz will not be much when even my old Wolfdale will do 4GHz on air

Kuma's NEVER going to OEM- at least not competitively, or EE/BE only. It's a channel product targeted at upgrades or new overclocking systems.

Regor, the new 45nm native dual design coming out in 09, will be replacing Brisbane.


And really, you think we so desperately need how high your Wolfdale can clock, seeing you didn't even read the thread?

Yorksfield clocks higher, has higher IPC, and consumes less power I don't really think an argument that K10 is superior technologically is applicable.... could you explain in more detail the rationale behind your statement...

How much is architecture? How much is process?
I think a lot of people forgot that high-k is actually quite amazing in terms of process. AMD's not going to get it till 32nm, but I don't think it's at any aspect fair for those guys to get slugged that hard because they're less radical on processes.
