Pricing for Athlon 64 leaks

Dom · Aug 21, 2003, 10:01 PM

WHEN AMD introduces its 3200+ (2GHz) Athlon 64 on the 23rd September, it will charge around $399 for the single channel DDR 754 pin model. In October, it will introduce a 3400+ version of the chip.

And its Athlon 64 FX, which is a 940 pin dual channel DDR chip, is expected to cost over $650, but will not use AMD's "PR" rating.

Meanwhile, the Athlon 64 FX with 939 pins will now launch at the end of the first quarter of next year, and we understand it won't now be compatible with the 940 pin version, meaning a motherboard change.

This chip is currently codenamed San Diego, and had been expected to be released in Q1 of next year.

Still quite pricey. But that's cheaper than when the 2700, and 3000 first came out.

Not too sure about these processor designations... I have heard entirely different things... but out of three stories that I have heard... none of them match... so, I guess we will all have to wait until the CPUs are out ... and then take a look.
