Why the heck has AMD still not said ANYTHING about a 4000 X2???

LoneWolf121188 · Nov 24, 2005

Remember back when the first X2s came out, there was only the 4200, 4400, 4600, and 4800? Then the 3800 was released and everyone said "thats nice, but I'd rather go with a 4000". So they waited...and waited...and waited. Why has AMD not said anything (afaik) about a 4000? Why do they refuse to release one?

My best guess is that they don't feel the market is right for one.

I think that AMD thinks they have enough depth in their line.

Sorry to go offtopic but lonewolf are you attending everlan this year in january?

What would be the difference? 2100Mhz stock clock vs 2000Mhz for the 3800+?

It'd have twice the L2 cache and the same clock as the 3800+

Your "X2 4000+" is the Opteron 170

AMD I believe has said there will be no 4000+ X2.

Theoretically, a 4000+ X2 would be 2GHz with 2x1MB cache. Well, that's exactly what an Opteron 170 is.

Sort of true , except it will clock better than any of the X2s... :beer:
