AMD Launches Three Dual-Core Chips

Three Dual-Core chips!!! I still thinking about the Dual-Core Chips.

Huh? What?

Oh...the new Opterons.

I don't get that article? All thats new is a speed bump, dual core opterons have been available since May. They make it sound like dual core opterons were just released.

The new CPU's 280 and 880 are the new 2.4ghz version

The ones that have been available for a few months are

2.2ghz 275,875
2.0ghz 270,870
1.8ghz 265,865

The 1 series single processors have always been rare, I haven't seen anyone stocking dual core 1xx chips.

Out of our price range (for most of us, anyways).

he Opteron Model 880 and Model 280 are priced at $2,649 and $1,299, respectively, in 1,000-unit quantities. The Model 180 is expected to cost $799 in the same quantities.

Also, your wording is a little awkward, it almost sounds like you're saying "three core chips".

The only noteworthy thing is the Opteron 180 dual core, as I don't think 1xx dual core chips have actually been anywhere to be found before this. If you need ECC and only two cores, then this is more cost effective than sticking a 2xx dual core opteron into a single socket board.
