A64 Mobiles

According to AMD's website, true mobile AMD 64's are on their way.

Supposedly, these run at 25 % less wattage than the standards and have a full 1M level 2 cache. This means that they are the same frequency at 3200+, but lower at 3000+ and 2800+ but with the bigger cache. We will see when they can actually be obtained. They are $15 more than the standard 64's, according to their OEM costs. Hopefully, we will see these soon.

that's neat!

hopefully they'll do as well as their barton mobile counterpart!

Nice link!

That just might convince me to hold off on an XP-M purchase for the moment. If a relatively cheap and highly overclockable mobile 64 were released, that would definitely pwn current bartons

im excited too...if the mobile 64 is as good at the mobile XP, we might have a great budget overclocker on our hands!

What do the OEM's cost?

When will AMD64 Mobiles be available to the public?

Thanks

Newegg has had these for nearly a month. Here's the link: link

edit: Oh, I just noticed that they have the 3400 mobile too: link.

No... those are the DTR's, not the true mobiles. I am not sure when the A64-M's will be available, but they have been sent, according to AMD.
Supposedly, they will be like $15 more than the standard, basically like the XP-M to XP cost now. I'm not sure on all the details, I just know what I have read from the AMD website. I just know they should run at 25% less wattage than the standard. I'm not sure if that means 25% less voltage or not, but on wattage it should be.

That's too rich for my pocket.

Do you think their release will drive the price of XP-M's down?

It shouldn't, since they are two different class processors, in two different price brackets.
