AMD FX-60 official launch

Seems it'll be this Tuesday with an MRSP 1238$ US for 200MHz more then the $500 lesser square then the 4800X2... OUCH!

>NEW ATHLONS ARE imminent. AMD has been sending out the FX-60 chips, dual cores that clock at 2.6GHz.
They are in the hands of at least one INQ friendly box slinger now, so it is only a short period of time before they are in the hands of users.

You give up about 200MHz over a single core, but that small a loss is well worth the added second core.

If AMD follows form, it will be make a slight power increase over the single core, 110w vs 95, and the dual 2.6's.


This just validates my beleif that the 939 wall is around 3GHz...soon the M2's will be in high demand
