Amd x2 blackeditions discontinued?

[Roboxrr4]

Hi i have been looking at buying an amd 5000+ black edition cpu but can't seem to find them anywhere.

I was just wondering if they have been discontinued. American sites like newegg seem to still stock them but non of the uk retialers have them in stock.

Yes, you're both welcome *cough*

Sorry but did you bother to check wether they were in stock for any of the links?

No, that's up to you, and I found it in stock here: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ Black Edition 2.60GHz - Retail - TRONIX
within a minute, or do you want me to go yell at AMD for not making enough outdated CPUs too? Maybe I should come up with a solution to the global debt crisis and intersteller travel while I'm at it.

Shame they discontinued these, it's a great chips. Mine runs 3.0GHz with a simple multiplier raise, and i'm sure it would do 3.2 - 3.4 with a bit more voltage

Great chip but the 4850e is coming out now which will prove the better chip espeically given it's power requirements.
