Today AMD has announced that it is introducing its Athlon 64 X2 3800+ in time for all you folks who will be splashing out on a new CPU this holiday.
Priced at $351 for 1000, AMD consider that the 3800+'s price will mean that "consumers can experience exceptional dual-core performance at a mainstream price point".
AMD continue to push the Athlon 64 FX for gamers rather than the X2, instead pushing the X2 towards "prosumer and digital media segments -- sophisticated power users who run multiple processor-intensive applications simultaneously," which is where the X2 will get the best use anyway.

thats still the sort of price that leaves me with me single core 3200+ for a while longer. I was hoping for a sub £250 part but komplett can be expensive so there is stil hope. showing as out of stock though!
