Earlier this week AMD added the Athlon 64 6000+ SKU to its distributor roadmap along with several Energy Efficient low power CPUs — the single-core EE 3800+ and 3500+. The 6000+ chips are scheduled for a late February launch and will be based on the 90nm node, while the EE CPUs are slated for the 65nm node.
To be the owner of this brand new 3.0GHz chip, you will only need to shell out $600. Now, I’d still easily go for an Intel C2D chip that’s half the price, but 3.0GHz is extremely nice for a K8. I am going to sit back and wait for AMD to come up with a true C2D killer.
