Find out what prices the new AMD processor-in-a-box prices are going into the channel.

Read more.

Better value and cheaper processors are always a good thing but you have to wonder if any of these are particularly relevant given the new architectures coming out next year, although I suppose there's still plenty of people that will NEED to upgrade or change their processor before than, and these might be a good way for them to do it.

Weirdly you posted this before you actually posted anything else about the new processors, oh well.

Yes, my bad, I wrote that without checking when any reviews of the new chips will be out. They are coming soon though...

Soon as in today, or soon as in this week? You haven't just broken an NDA have you, Scott? ;)

I assume these are all purely speed-bumps. We don't know of any new steppings or anything that would give more room to be overclocked or undervolted do we?

They mostly look like small tweaks and speed bumps, but Scott suggests that Hexus reviews are coming, so who knows ;) Nice to see another hex-core positioned between the incumbents, though - always felt there was a bit too much of a gap there.

The Sempron 145 at least is *not* a speed bump - they've doubled the L2 cache (presumably by somehow linking the L2 cache from the disabled second core - not sure how that works though :O_o1:)


EDIT: I'm lying, apparently: The Sempron 140 is 2.7GHz and has 1MB of L2 cache, so the 145 *is* just a speed bump. "Ignore me, Ignore me..."

anything about the X4 960T they were supposed to be bringing out? the unlockable ones?

What I can tell you is that the 1075T is based on an existing Phenom II X6 die revision.

Zosma seems like an OEM-only part, HalloweenJack.

Thank you Tarinder - a shame as they would have been monsters
