Initially scheduled to be released in November 2006, the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is finally postponed to the end of February. We remind you that AMD has chosen the rather ageing 90 nm fabrication process rather than the 65 nm for this frequency increase.
Like the Athlon FX 74, the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is clocked at 3.0 GHz, has 2X1MB of L2 cache and a TDP of 125 Watts. It will be compatible with the socket AM2. Compared to the 5600+, it is clocked 200 MHz higher and has 36 additional Watts. During the third quarter, AMD will release a 65 nm version with a TDP of 89 watts. The price of this processor should be of $607 or respectively $102 and $77 more than the 5600+ and E6700.
