Anyone seen the 65nm, 45W Athlons?!

[m25]

Well, the question is just that; since they were officially released some good weeks ago, does anybody know where they are sold or being shown in any benchmark?!

They are more than likely overseas. The 3600+ was in Australia long before here.

Like those?

I'm planning on making a HTPC/gaming (go well with the 73" mitsu setting behind me) box, the 4800+ Brisbane has a great price and fits well. Cool and alot of power.

**Edit: nevermind, throught the 3600+ was 45w, man need to get over this flu, meds are playing tricks on my mind

I just wonder why there are no benchmarks yet; they're "newer" than Brisbanes and single core, so the overclocking potential would be pretty interesting to see in terms of AMD's 65nm future and overall potential compared to the 90nm Venice core.

Newegg has a single 65nm 45W Athlon 64 single core, the "Lima" 3500+: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103048 According to AMD, there is also a Lima 3800+, which is otherwise similar to the Orleans 3800+, except it has a lower TDP and Vcore.

If you want to do a review on the Lima 3500+, please do. It's only $82.50 and we'd love to see it.

You're obviously kidding :lol: . I was looking for something to upgrade my girlfriend's Sempron and the OEM X2 3600+ is only $85 and I think it will still drop

 

[MU_Engineer]

Well, I was kidding about the "only" part as it will certainly drop. It's only $2.50 less than the wonderful X2 3600+ Brisbane, so I don't know too many that wouldn't spring for the X2 over the 3500+. At $50 or $60 this sounds more reasonable, but $82.50 is a little steep for a single-core these days, especially one with mid-lower-range performance per core. If this was the A64 Lima 4000+ with a 2.6 GHz core clock and 512KB L2, then $82.50 sounds reasonable.

However I was not kidding about the benchmark part. If you or somebody else wants to get one and bench it, I'd love to see it.

There's a a 2.6GHz Lima?! Didn't know it! With a multi of 13X, all that single threaded performance and 65nm process, it could easily sit on 3.0G with any motherboard and that really makes you think twice about the 1.9GHz Brisbane.

Yes, there will be 2.6GHz Lima.

qcmadenss has it. It's not released yet, but it will be. The entire Lima line was an almost silent release as few care about single-core CPUs anymore.
