AMD Delivers Another Inexpensive 64-bit CPU

edited March 2004 in Science & Tech
AMD have finally added its Athlon 64 2800+ processor into its official price list, reflecting its availability for at least some customers. The new chip is not designated to demonstrate unbelievably high performance, but is supposed to enable very affordable personal computers with AMD64 technology.

[blockquote]64-bit microprocessors priced in $200 and below range have all chances to become popular among end-users who are looking for some new and exciting hardware, but cannot easily afford a $400 or $700 CPUs, such as the Athlon 64 3400+ or Athlon 64 FX-53. System integrators should also be happy with the new flavour of AMD64, as their customers may bite those more reasonably priced 64-bit systems.[/blockquote]

    Another Inexpensive 64-bit CPU ?
    The only thing people are complaing about concerning the A64's is the price.

    I had no problems paying $211 for my Athlon64 3000+(2GHz) a couple months ago. And after trying to render 3D stuff at school on their 2.4GHz P4's I realized just how nice this CPU really is...

    Yes, the Athlon has always been superior when it comes to 3D rendering.
    Both the 32bit Athlon and the 64bit Athlon is doing 3D rendering very well.
