AMD also announced a new processor today at the Akiba event. The new processor is the Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition. It is rated at 3.2GHz. According to early data The CPU will have 2MB L2 cache and built on 90nm SOI. The TDP could be 125W.

Wow..Looks cool (the box). What does Black Edition means?

maybe the HSF is special in black colour

, sound nice... "Black Edition", heatsink black in color? i don't think so, but the IHS, maybe... or even the CPU core... black in color, sure nice ...

the box > intel box.

Sounds nice. However, I think the TDP would be a let-down for overclockers, as it is even higher then Intel's quad......

just the name like current intel "extreme" i show the highend one....

y all highend parts must be black color 1?

look mystery and cool~

The box damn nice one...when iz it arriving at msia??

maybe it comes from the darkside....jeng3~
why not using 65nm process???dunno what plans AMD have....

another weird marketing gimmick hehe............

may be the entire chip packing is black, shinning black processor..... wander if the stock processor heat sink is black too..........

What so special other then the black color?

once the cpu is installed into the system, who the heck cares about the packaging? and looking at the spec and TDP

can imagine the market price for this also

apart from technology/architecture .... AMD's 90nm is still on par with Intel's 65nm parts in term of power consumption

AMD just clearing up the old inventory, nothing too surprising or funny about that.

The F3 part has lower L2 cache latency than the G1 part, hence better performance.

F3 = 90nm
G1 = 65nm

And the F3 parts actually scales much better than G1 in terms of clockspeed (which is why I refuse to get a Brisbane)

AMD's 90nm heat dump is actually comparable to Intel's 65nm heat dump on the mainstream model. This 6400+ most likely targets high end hardcore AMD fanboys instead of average consumer.

how much is that proc ?

6000+ is rm580, so tis should be abt 750ish???

aiya~ so sad... juz ordered X2 3.0GHz 6000+ last week... thought that i'm gonna use the best AMD proc in market... my cpu not yet arrive... already come a new cpu?

Wah! Black Label ar.............. can drink 1. Kekekekeke. If they make it in S939 I will buy it.

I think it is impossible AMD produce s939 X2 6400 lor, may only you and me will buy
