MojoKid writes "Rumors of a new high-end AMD Athlon 64 X2 chip circulated in July but
availability and specifics of the chip were unconfirmed at the time.
Today however, AMD has officially taken the wraps off their
new Athlon 64 X2 6400+, a 3.2GHz dual-core Athlon X2 set to compete with
Intel's Core 2 E6750 and E6850 series. HotHardware notes that
the new 6400+ is still built on AMD's 90nm fab process, has a single 2GHz
HyperTransport link and 2MB of on-chip L2 cache (1MB per core), just like its
predecessor the 6000+. The new processor is said to be a "channel only"
offering and will retail at $239 or so, in a black retail box without a heatsink." Link to Original Source
