We considered Until now that in the composition of platform AMD 4x4 necessarily it will be used only dual core processors Athlon 64 fx, although special chipset and new processor for the appropriate motherboards will not required - they will be equipped with the pair of AM2 Socket .
Yesterday associates reported with the reference to AMD representatives that platform 4x4 will use a complete sets of dual core processors with total cost less than $1000. In other words, for the pair of processors you return not more than $1000, on $500 for the processor in the quite worst case.
Comparing this information with the acting prices of dual core AMD processors , we easily understood that even for two processors Athlon 64 X2 5000+ we should pay not more than $600-700. Other models Athlon 64 x2 will be cheaper. One processor Athlon 64 fx-62 stand $827, for two it will returned in the order of $1654.
thois will confirm the fact that AMD will not propose the processors Athlon 64 fx in 4x4 platform to keep the price for a sum less than $1000 or maybe amd will drop the fx serie processor to lower than 500$, it is more than 40% reduction?
More reasonable explanation exactly consists in the fact that in the systems of class AMD 4x4 will be possible even with pair of processors Athlon 64 x2. This is confirmed by the AMD statements
Let us recall that the finished systems of class AMD 4x4 will appear in sale in the fourth quarter of 2006.
