while looking for information on 65nm over at XS i found out that the 35w was a typo. they are all supposedly 65w. jfyi.

Sweeet! You should see 45W to 65W depending on how you run it though most of us will push 70 through them

let me guess all am2?

you are correct Sir.

Whats the name of the 35W version? I know i've seen references to them but forgot where I've seen them.

I will not be happy until there is a sub watt CPU and a 1kw GPU

LOL at the current rate might be 20 years before the GPU hits 1kw

But a low wattage CPU is getting there i mean if they have 35W ones for the desk top damn it shouldn't be to to far off. Intels C2D Conroe direct replacement with 45nm tech is going to be 9W lower if not mistaken to bring it to 54W.

As hUMANbEATbOX said it's a typo according to the guys at Xtremesystems...

Kind of a moot point discussing vaporware at this stage though... there wouldn't be any of these discussions if AMD actually sent out some review samples for all the major tech sites.

Something is up... what is AMD hiding?

Maybe some DRM? Maybe the yields aren't up to par yet and there hiding it.

AMD is not doing well lately. 4x4 looks like a total bust and they are miles behind Intel in die shrinks. We'll see how long it takes to see K8L...could be a while.

Probably yields. AMD better throw another AXP out there or they're going to be relegated back to the K5 days.

I believe that you'll be able to undervolt these processors as hell.
Because there are already 35w 90nm AMD CPU's out there, and 65W is already a low Power CPU at 90nm, which is standard for 65nm. I do also believe that they will release 65nm low power cpu's. (While it has shown that even some high-wattage 90nm CPU's can be undervolted to 35w without a problem)

Molester · Dec 11, 2006

remember, AMD said they would no longer charge more for "EE" versions

and just because AMD's launch map shows 65w TDP, dosn't mean they can't run at a 35w TDP...

There stocks have down a lot too...

Noo...my stock simulator making me poor!
