They have been launched about a week ago but I could't find any of them on the net...

Maybe a paper launch for AMD.

Good question. :D

Thats a 90nm CPU not a 65nm one like the OP is looking for, doh!

Nowhere for now. Maybe next year we are going to see any.

Only BM knows for sure where they are. :wink:

They were only for OEMs so they should have gotten the first shipments by now. I guess they are redoing their ads to include "Energy-Effcient/Lower voltage" as selling points.

They are said to go into the same AM2 mobo.

That may actually be one because 90nm voltage is 1.3-1.35V That one is marked as 1.2V

clown, 65nm voltage is 1.25V-1.35V! Not 1.2V!

Except the 65nm 4200's haven't been launched yet-it's only the 4000, 4400, and 4800 at this point in time, and again, as you've said, only for OEMs right now.

I expect we'll see them some time in January.

You are such a little p u n k. The point was that 90nm is 1.3V. That is not marked 1.3V, is it?

BM, the 90nm EE and SFF EE chips do not run at 1.35V. The reason that the EE chips are energy efficient is that they are under-clocked and under-volted. The lower voltage needed to switch the transistors a smaller process node is what makes smaller-process chips cooler and less energy-hungry than larger ones. The 65W EE chips run at 1.20V and the SFF EE chips run just a touch over 1.00V. This is at 90 nm.

Then basically that site is all screwed up.

That is very possible then. I've seen Newegg sell "Brisbane" A64s that were really Venices. It's a mis-type. If you had 10,000 products, I'd bet that occasionally a few would have small details goofed up.

That's an Energy Efficient model IMO, not to count the BS some sites write instead of the true specs :wink:

Kiss my A$$.

They did like Intel with their Core2... OEM got them first. Then it is public time.. Some sample may start to show off soon, but I guess they will be rare for a while

They are the biggest customers, so they are served first..

I guess it makes sense from a business PoV, but it sure isn't fair. :x
