It should be priced between $100 and $150.

You will see faster chips with the 3500+, 3700+, and 3800+ A64's, but you will also see high prices. The prospects of a lower priced A64 is more appealing to alot more users then that of a higher priced model.

1.6GHz - 2.4GHz (2600+ to 3400+) Newcastle (512KB L2) S754 CPU's are now becoming available, giving many their choice of speed/cost in S754.

do u guys this this new chip will OC nicely?

Thank god a $100 cpu i can afford, tho id rather have a cpu with 1mb l2 cache then one with 512k for half the price. so i im still ganna pay $250 for the 3200+ with 1mb L2

kulki · 05-27-04, 12:06 PM

well that extra 512K of L2 cache is only gonna fetch u about 4-5% performace gain? Is it really worth the extra 100 bucks for it?

CandymanCan · 05-27-04, 12:12 PM

Yea, Its just like the bartons and Tbred's I thought the extra $40 at the time when i got this cpu was worth it.

yo4444 · 05-27-04, 12:58 PM

are the 64 bit processors really worthwhile without an os at 64bit? or games at 64bit?.. im going to build a new system and i was thinking aboout an athlon 64 but was told by a lot of ppl not to do it until there is an os and price comes down a little...

CandymanCan · 05-27-04, 01:45 PM

Yea the memory bandwidth alone is reason to buy them over an AXP system.

20% diff in performance in games.

As the new faster chips come out the older chips price will drop. i cant wait to they get to the 4500 to 5000 pr thats when im gonig to start looking in to gettnig a 64 bit chip
