Et leaked dokument fra AMD er blevet sendt ud til flere store nyhedssites. Her er det tale om AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ og AMD Athlon 64 FX-60. FX 60'eren har en standard clock på 3.0 ghz og dermed afslutter AMD markedet med single core FX processore. Man regner med at X2 5000+ kommer til at have en clock på 2.6 ghz. Prisen for begge processore vil ligge over 1000$ i USA og vi vil nok se højere tal herhjemme. Processorne ville kunne bruges med den nuværende socket 939, så den helt dyre opgradering bliver det heller ikke (hvis man ikke regner processorprisen med!).
Dette er dog ikke den eneste nyhed fra AMD. Til næste CeBIT-messe vil de fremvise deres ny socket: Socket M2 med 940-pins som kommer til at understøtte DDR2-667 Memory. Socket M2 vil bane vejen for quardro core (4 kerner) processorer til desktop.
"So, since AMD decided to pressure one site into not publishing news which even weren't very detailed, here is more info than was originally published at our colleagues' yard.
The products in question are AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ and Athlon 64 FX-60. AMD isn't going from 57 to 59, but rather from 57 to 60, then to 65 and so on, to catch up with the Opteron numbering scheme and prepare for M2.
The clock speed wasn't specified in the leaked document, but our sources claim you can expect 2.6GHz for the 5000+, and here are the details of the last CPU to debut on Socket 939 platform: The FX-60 will run at 3.0 GHz and mark the end of single-core for FX CPUs.
The prices of the products were over a 1K dollars per piece. Very "nice price" for zero upgradeable platform.
And did we say that AMD will introduce 940-pin Socket M2 with DDR-II 667 memory at CeBIT? Of course, expect a whole hell breaking loose over same naming conventions. Two 5000+ CPUs, two 4800+, two single core 4000+, two 3800+ and two 3500+ will be on the menu.

Mange mener at dette document er bevidst blevet udsendt ud fra AMD, da de vil fjerne opmærksomheden fra Intel's i975X chipset og deres nye 65 nanometer processor med kodenavnet Presler.
