Der skulle angiveligt være billigere Socket 939 processorer på vej, med modelnumre omkring 3000+, og en talsperson fra AMD bekræfter da også, at vi inden for den nærmeste fremtid, vil se et bredere udvalg af processorer til Socket 939. I øjeblikket er den billigste processor til Socket 939 en Athlon 64 3500+ som koster over 2500 kroner, hvor den/de kommende processorer gerne skulle havne under 2000 kroner. Dermed bliver Socket 939-platformen mere mainstream, i forhold til i dag, hvor den er forholdsvis high-end.
Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices typically offers lower-speed bins of its chips for newly unveiled infrastructure a couple of months after the infrastructure becomes available. Some sources this week said that AMD would drive the lineup of Socket 939 AMD64 chips down to the 3000+ model number, or to the segment of about $200 per chip shortly.
?At AMD, we do not give out details of unannounced product specs or launch dates as a rule. But you can certainly expect a wider range of AMD processors for the 939-pin socket in the not-too-distant future,? a spokesperson for AMD told X-bit labs.
