do you know if AMD is making any more Athlon X2s (the 45nm series)? I heard they are discontiuing the X2 6000+ & 6400+ so I'm hoping the make processorsjust as fast in the 45nm X2 flavor. |
They will be as far as im aware. The chips will get smaller and they are going to update the instructions also so they are up to date. If they don't get faster im going to be surprised, but seeing speeds much over 3ghz isn't really expected. I would expect to see fewer model names as it becomes more a value segment. I think they will focus on cheap/low power usage so the speed will be faster but not excessively so.
The Phenom processors are getting updated as part of their continuous improvement program. The Phenom 9950 is going to come out at 2.66ghz which should help them compete when the RV770 is released (HD3850/70)
Tease.
