X2 3800+ Manchester, its real!

RedDragonXXX · Jul 26, 2005

A user frok the xtreme systems forums have a photo of what seems to be a AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ with Manchester core which the guy actually bought recently. This'll be first budget version of the dual core family.

The chip is clocked a 2 GHz with a multiplier of 10 and it has two timesd 512 KB L2 caches. The expected price for this 'budget' chip will be arround 350-400 USD.

Good news for everyone that is planning to go DC and doesn't want to spend arm and a leg. I just hope that we se budget Toledos :-/

Probably at the same ratio as the higher end models. Speed binning FTW?

that would be great if they do. I suspect they will not overclock well at all though. I've narowed my choices down to this or a 3700 san diego. san diego will faster in games, but the x2 will be faster in a multitasking enviroment. Decisions...decisions...

I just hope that we see Toledo Values, otherwise I won't be getting one.

Just upgraded from a Duron 1.2 to a A64 3000+... gonna be atleast a year before I consider more upgrades, and proably that much time to save up that extra cash!

Same here, where's my dang dual 1MB 2GHz 4000+? If that don't come out soon I'll just have to wait for the 4400+ to come down in price, but I can't wait that long.

wonder how much the extra 1mb cache will cost?

About $50-$70, no more than that.

Drec · Jul 26, 2005

~$450 doesn't sound like a 'bargain' to me.

X2 3800+ Manchester, its real!
