Are you talking about new series? If not, AMD just released a new FX series processore the FX-60 Dual Core. Priced at around $1000 bucks usd.

im talking about the .65nm core or something like that intel released there .65 ones.

there's rumours that amd may release their 65nm cpus when they switch over to socket am2 in the 2nd quarter but these are unconfirmed. either way amd still run cooler than intel at 90nm and the performance (for now) is higher

ok thanks. so should i wait for the new am2 to come out or not and when is the second quarter.

well 65nm might not come out with the release of socket am2 but it will be on that platform eventually... its up to you whether you can wait for 65nm or not... the difference wont be that big straight away in my opinion. 2nd quarter is in the period of april - june

At the risk of sounding like a complete fool, what is the complete difference between the 90nm and the 65nm CPU's?

Hairy_Lee · 01-14-2006, 12:45 AM

generally speaking; smaller, cooler and faster

i.Angel · 01-14-2006, 12:48 AM

But will there be that big of a difference? And I heard that there will be a socket "f" that will be released after AM2? Gah... I can't keep up with technology money wise...

Hairy_Lee · 01-14-2006, 01:29 AM

well the only real difference is that they will be switching over to ddr2... a more signifcant speed boost will be further down the line in my opinion.
socket F has something like 1207 pins and is therefore not compatible with socket am2 as it only had 940 pins (but isn't compatible with current socket 940 technology).
socket F will only be released for server chips, however i can see this being used for desktop computers in the future.
i intend to switch to socket am2 when i can afford to
