[-0MEGA-] · 05-09-2006, 03:28 PM

AMD Desktop Processor Price List
Processor Socket SSBP
Athlon 64 FX-62 AM2 $1,236
Athlon 64 X2 5000+ AM2 $696
Athlon 64 X2 4800+ AM2 $645
Athlon 64 X2 4600+ AM2 $558
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ AM2 $469
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ AM2 $365
Athlon 64 X2 4000+ AM2 $328
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ AM2 $303
Athlon 64 3800+ AM2 $290
Athlon 64 3500+ AM2 $208
Sempron 3600+ AM2 $123
Sempron 3500+ AM2 $109
Sempron 3400+ AM2 $97
Sempron 3000+ AM2 $77
Sempron 2800+ AM2 $67

AM2's are a bit more expensive than the current 939's, but the AM2's dont show much improvement. And the conroe's are much cheaper, so personally i would wait until conroe.

I knew you would say that

The prices are not all that unreasonable at the 4200 level and below but paying $1236 for an FX62 is madness.

Well if you consider that a $300 conroe outperforms a $1000 FX-60...

Perhaps when their released, there will be more than a 1-5% increase.

Looks good, I just hope AMD releases a lower budget dual core model.

as you mentioned, conroe's aren't out yet.
there aren't any official reliable benchmarks out that i've seen...
if you can show me one, by all means do so.
im sure the processors will be priced correctly, if an fx-60 was priced $700 more than a chip that performed better than in, none of the fx-60's would sell.
plus, the price on conroe isn't official yet either unless im wrong.

well said friend!
that would be nice. Athlon 64 X2 3600+ haha, 1.8ghz 1mb per core maybe??
or maybe even an X2 4000+ would be nice
of course, theres an opteron for that, but the 165 is more expensive than the X2 3800+ if i remember correctly.

What's the difference between the 939, AMD2, and the Conroe??

A little behind the ball arent we

939 is currently the newest AMD socket for desktop PC's. AM2 is the next socket thats coming out in a few months, and will support DDR2. Conroe is the codename of Intel's new CPU, due out around September of this year.

Haha yea I'm just getting into building computers and computing in general so forgive me

Ok cause I have the 939 right now and I was wondering about this AM2 that I heard about TODAY, go figure. Is it going to be faster than the 939 or what is it's appeal?

As of now, the differences between say, an X2 3800+ 939 and an X2 3800+ AM2 is very minimal, in most cases the increase is only about 1%-5%, and some are only 0.5% increase, however they may be able to improve it a little more before its released.

if they're at the same frequencies with the same amount of cache, which the model numbers tell that they should.. they ought to perform the same.
they'll be compatible with ddr2 (not a huge difference as long as the ddr ram is in dual channel)
although, i believe ddr2 uses less power, which should be good if you have a low rated PSU...
or for mobile technologies... but i believe there will be a difference cpu socket for that.
