RIP: Athlon 64 3000+, 3200+ Socket 939

I guess it had to happen sometime...

Another one bites the dust

In what is turning into a graveyard of discontinued AMD processors, it has come to DailyTech's attention that a single-core Athlon 64 3000+ and 3200+ Socket 939 processors are getting the axe. AMD has just notified its distributors that it is terminating the Athlon 64 single-core Socket 939 3000+ and 3200+ components. AMD's documentation claims no more of the following processors may be ordered after the end of June

More info is at DailyTech (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2966)

AMD released sometime ago that they were stopping production of the S939 chips by the end of the year, I'm sure the rest will soon follow suit.

You are correct. AMD's PPT chart has all of socket939 parts officially EOLed by Q4'06.
