After the appearance of OEM- version processor athlon 64 X2 3600+ on 65 nm core brisbane in American retail not doubts remained about the reality of this product. we could see, finally the determined characteristics of processor, and also its marking. It operates at frequency 1.9 GHz, it has 2 X 512 KB cache, level TDP is equal to 65 W. Marking the model was noted in retail appeared as follows: ADO3600IAA5DL. Last two symbols from this sequence a little were a bit deferent from the traditional processors brisbane with the combination DD.
Sequential acquaintance with the recently updated official AMD Price- list today presented surprise in the form of references about the price of dual core processor athlon 64 X2 3600+, produced on 65 nm technology. First, we know that this processor socket AM2 actually operates at frequency 1.9 GHz and it is equipped with 2 X 512 KB cache in the second level. Furthermore, it relates to the class of energy effective processors, which is completely natural for model with such characteristics.
in the second place, wholesale price Of athlon 64 X2 3600+ was high. More precisely saying, it is equal to the cost of processor athlon 64 X2 3800+, which works at higher frequency 2.0 GHz, and have the same cache volume .
The model athlon 64 X2 3600+ (65 nm) can exist also in the more economical class energy efficient small form factor (TDP=35 W). At least, only by this it is possible to explain the presence on official site AMD of processor with the marking ADO3600IAA5DD:
Obviously, analogous processor with marking ADO3600IAA5DL relates to the more economical energy class. Theoretically, it must cost more , but American retail could not confirm such fact. Both versions athlon 64 X2 3600+ are based on stepping G1 core brisbane.
From Athlon 64 X2 3600+ we are waiting from start to price drop . However, from the attitude of representatives AMD, prices of processors will continue to be reduced in the present half-year. Related Products :
