AMD Athlon X2 BE-Series
Over a month later, customers can purchase the 45-watt processors
AMD’s Athlon X2 BE-series processors have hit retail. AMD announced two Athlon X2 BE-series (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=7527) processors early last month, but the processors were absent from retail channels. Over a month later, the Athlon BE-series processors have begun showing up on Newegg. Newegg offers the Athlon X2 BE-2300 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103187) and BE-2350 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103186) for $89.50 and $95 USD, respectively.
The AMD Athlon X2 BE-series, based around Brisbane (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5222), offers lower thermal ratings at 45-watts. Besides the lower thermal ratings, the Athlon X2 BE-series is nearly identical to the Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane models, with 2x512KB of L2 cache, 2000 MHz HyperTransport speed and AMD Virtualization technology.
AMD has only officially announced the Athlon X2 BE-2350 and BE-2300, clocked at 2.1 GHz and 1.9 GHz. However, AMD plans to release a third model, the 2.3 GHz Athlon X2 BE-2400 (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=7468) in August, with the same 45-watt thermal ratings.
AMD plans to replace the Athlon X2 Brisbane-based processors with Rana early next year (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4943). Rana transitions the Athlon X2 to the Socket AM2+ platform with HyperTransport 3.0. Rana will have a short life-span, being replaced by Regor in 2H’08 (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=7913). Regor adds support for DDR3 memory and compatibility with AMD’s upcoming Socket AM3 platform. @ FONTE (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=8047)
Apesar de baseados nos actuais X2, estes têm consumos muito inferiores, tornando os na escolha perfeita quer para HTPCs como Home Servers!
Deixo também uma dica de alguns utilizadores, estes como os ultimos X2, principalmente os 3800 X2 têm uma nova revisão que ao que parece são bons OCers fazendo cerca de 50% de OC, tal como este relato:
Actually the new F3 revision of the 3800 X2's are clocking like crazy. UP to 3.3GHz on air, 3.8GHz on water in some places. 3.0+ GHz on air w/ a 3600/3800 X2 is actually very common. Considering a %50 overclock, id have to say that its rather impressive and that they do overclock well.
fiquem bem ;)
