AMD 65nm Product Plans Unveiled

Brisbane will be AMD’s first 65nm core and is expected to launch with four parts. The four 65nm Brisbane core based products include the Athlon 64 X2 5000+, 4800+, 4400+ and 3800+. All four models will have 2x512KB of L2 cache and a 65W TDP rating.

These are looking good, but expect to figure out their model number scheme all over. The X2 4800+ for instance, is 2.5GHz… which may result in a very odd multiplier. One noticeable benefit is the fact that these are all 65W as opposed to 90W previously. The Energy Efficient chips, currently maxing out at 2.3GHz uses only 35W. I cannot wait to see how these overclock.
