PC Perspective has thrown up their review of AMD's Athlon 64 2800+ Processor.
After inquiring to AMD about this latest processor, the reasoning behind the release of the CPU was placed upon the retailer selling it. AMD has said they are not going to be selling this Athlon 64 2800+ in a retail package -- in fact they only intended to sell it to system builders due do a demand for a lower cost Athlon 64 processor. The online retailers that you are seeing with this processor (you can see a couple on our PriceGrabber engine) have close ties to a major system builder (Newegg to ABS Computers) and can thus order a lot of processors from AMD in OEM fashion and then sell the extras online in OEM form. In the end, the user gets an Athlon 64 processor for under $175; not too bad.
