AMD releases X85 parts

AMD JUST SORT OF LAUNCHED the latest dual core processors, the X85 parts. They are, wait for it, the 185, 285 and 885 models, all running at 2.6GHz, more or less FX-60s in a new package. And previously reported by us before the press release hit news wires like a brick, natch. As usual, they fit in the family thermal envelope, because chips they are small these days and don’t need a Jiffy Bag anymore, honest.

The AMD page on Processor Pricing has been updated today, and man they are some expensive CPU’s! You can check that page here. You can check out the posting over at The Inq.
