Well, it is now official. AMD is feeling that pinch...
Farewell Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 4400+ and 4000+ socket AM2 parts, we hardly knew ye
DailyTech previously reported AMD distributors confirmed the ditch 2x1MB Windsor socket AM2 parts in favor of Windsor 2x512KB parts. Retailers are beginning to confirm the death of 2x1MB Windsor products with most major online retailers immediately delisting Socket AM2 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 4400+ and 4000+ products.
Doing a quick search for 2x1MB Windsor products on Chief Value, Club IT, Monarch Computer, MWAVE, Newegg, TigerDirect and ZipZoomFly shows the products are not available anymore.
With the 2x1MB socket AM2 parts canned retailers are left with only four Athlon 64 X2 dual-core products -- the 5000+, 4600+, 4200+ and 3800+. The remaining Windsor 2x512KB currently retail for around $299, $359.99 and $575 for 3800+, 4200+ and 4600+ models. Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2x512KB models are still scarce in terms of retail availability though.
AMD internally announced price cuts on all over Athlon 64 components a few days ago, which was devoid of information on the 2x1MB cache components.
