FX-62 and X2 5000+ Are Socket AM2 Only

Yesterday The Inquirer reported AMD was going to release Athlon 64 FX-62 and Athlon 64 X2 5000+ processors for socket 939. The source for the information was from the AMD processor price page where it listed the two models available for socket AM2 and Socket 939.

However, this is incorrect and it was only a misprint on the AMD website according to our AMD Public Relations representative, Damon Muzny. Muzny wrote to say, “While I was out on Thursday and Friday a number of you good folks noticed that there was a misprint on AMD’s website. Specifically, our pricing page incorrectly stated that the X2 5000+ and FX-62 would be available in a 939-pin flavor. That typo has been corrected and the pricing page now should read correctly.”

In the business side of things, it would be foolish for AMD to release 939 versions if they want to push AM2. So this is to be expected, really. Check out the full posting at DailyTech.
