AMD quietly adds faster Athlons, renames chipsets

This post by OSTG Marketing on behalf of AMD on Tuesday December 12, @08:34PM
AMD has added two new processors to its price list: 5400+ and 5600+ variants. The clock speed for both is 2.8GHz, with the difference being the amount of L2 cache per core. "While the 5400+ comes with X2-typical 512KB per core (total: 1MB), the 5600+ comes with 1MB of L2 cache per core (total: 2MB) giving it equal specs to top-of-the-line AM2 CPU, the Athlon 64 FX-62 and the newly introduced FX-72 (the one using Socket 1207FX)." In addition, they have "renamed the Radeon Xpress 1600 and 3200 into 480X CrossFire and 580X CrossFire, and added the products on the Once-Red-Now-Green ATI homepage, featuring the renamed line-up."
