During June , this year AMD company intends to release the 65 nm version athlon 64 X2 5200+, which will present the 2.7 GHz frequency on brisbane core . The nearest according to the characteristics of 65 nm dual core AMD processor , operates now at 2.6 GHz frequency - this is the model athlon 64 X2 5000+, whose TDP level does not exceed 65 W. A increase in frequency by 100 MHz . Let us note, that many processors brisbane are overclocked to 2.8 GHz with default vcore ; therefore AMD delay in the release of faster 65 nm processors athlon 64 X2 can cause a certain surprise.
In the official AMD Price- list , it is possible to reveal only one version athlon 64 X2 5200+ (2.6 GHz), based on 90 nm core with 2 X 1 mb cache in the second level. It is known that all 65 nm processors brisbane have 2 X 512 KB cache in the second level; therefore for obtaining the rating model 5200+ , the corresponding processor must operate at 2.7 GHz frequency .
Today we revealed a references about two version 65 nm processor athlon 64 X2 5200+ (2.7 GHz), whose fundamental characteristics can be observed in the following table.
The corresponding document is available here (621 KB).
Let us examine the differences between 65 nm version athlon 64 X2 5200+. Basic differences are obvious: this is the TDP level . It is equal to 65 W in one case (ADO5200IAA5DD) and to 76 W in other (ADI5200IAA5DD). Accordingly, we note the voltage ranges : 1.3-1.35 v and 1.325-1.375 v. . Let us note that both processors in this case are based on the same stepping G1.
The supply voltage in 65 nm versions athlon 64 X2 5200+ (2.7 GHz) in average is higher than 90 nm versions athlon 64 X2 5200+ (2.6 GHz): in the last case it is equal 1.2-1.25 v for the stepping F3 and 1.3-1.35 v for F2 stepping . Even the close in frequencies 65 nm processors athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz) and Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (2.5 GHz) have lower power voltages : 1.2-1.35 v.
The 65- watt version athlon 64 X2 5200+ on base of 65 nm core brisbane is already available in China.
Concrete copy is released in 11th week 2007, in the middle of March.
In Chinese retail this processor (in OEM- assembly ) can be purchased for $158, official wholesale price is equal to $178. Let us note, that on 9 July AMD company will lower the prices of athlon 64 X2 processors by 20%. Let us note that the 65 nm version athlon 64 X2 5200+ have strategic mission - It will be the high end processor athlon 64 X2 in the first quarter of 2008. Higher status will be for phenom processors . The processors athlon X2 Be -2xxx will have lower price status, and below ( in price ) will be located the dual core processors athlon X2 lS-2xxx (Rana), which relate to k10 generation , but without cache in the third level.
