AMD har annonceret Opteron 150, 250 og 850 processorer, som alle kører 2.4 GHz - og fungerer til systemer, med henholdsvis 1, 2 eller 4/8 processorer. Opteron processorerne har alle 1 MB L2 cache, og understøtter registreret PC3200 DDR-SDRAM. Opteron 150 processoren, som er identisk med Athlon FX-53 kan gå hen og blive interessant for private brugere, da den muligvis bliver billigere end netop Athlon 64 FX-53 - således er Opteron 148 cirka 2000 kroner billigere end Athlon 64 FX-51, selvom der er tale om den samme processor.
