AMD to counter Intel QX6700 with three new Athlon 64 FX CPUs in mid-November
The three Athlon 64 FX processors will be marketed under the FX-70, FX-72 and FX-74 names and have clock frequencies of 2.6GHz, 2.8GHz and 3.0GHz, respectively, with all models having 2MB (2x1MB) L2 cache and a TDP (thermal design point) of 125W, the sources indicated...
...the new Athlon 64 FX CPUs will utilize the Socket 1207 connector being used in AMD's server processors, instead of the Socket AM2 or the Socket 939, the sources noted.
So, anyone want to bet on prices for these chips, ignoring the ~$300 motherboard? AMD has already stated at least one kit of two processors will debut for under $1,000. These should be the hottest chips AMD has released to date, and I mean that in terms of temperature... ;)
