Athlon 64 X2 3600+ will be AMD's new assault weapon hitting Intel low in the price bracket with an expected price tag of $139-$160
Smart move! With the prejudice against AMD processors gone now, for the most part, that part should sell very well.
Lemonlime, I was thinking the same thing you were concerning the D805s. The 64X2 is ever bit as good or better than the 805. If you consider heat output and power consumption, it's a complete generation ahead of the 805.
With AMD's secrecy concerning their counterpunch to the now proven excellent Conroe series, I'm very curious as to what great chip AMD has in store for us. Assuming that AMD will again equal or trump Intel again in performance, I would assume that few months from now the performance per cost cost ratio for both AMD and Intel ought to be the best it's ever been. They are really in a performance horse race again.
