Inq: X2-3600+ is 35W TDP

this IMO is a good thing.

35W TDP is going to be great for loads of people, but lots of us were getting very lary about paying 5000+ prices for 3800+ performance, even if the power consumption was tiny.

i would happily sacrifice a little performance to get a 35W TDP Athlon X2 for £95.

can anyone else back up this rumour from a more reputable source?
 
I haven't heard much of anything about this. If it's slated to be marketed in back-to-school PCs, I wonder how many will actually be available after the OEMs snatch these up. Right now, the other 65W and 35W AMD CPUs are extremely hard to find.

That sure is a nice price, though...
 
i am guessing at the price.

but it will probably be less than an X2 3800+ and a 3800+, therefore in the £95 range.

what i really like about it is it is a standard product, it isn't an EE, or EESFF product therefore it must conform to the standard price regime, and presumably will have a standard-product availability too.

you may note that they have a 65W EE cpu and not the 35W SFFEE verasion

From Xbit:

the 35W-rated X2 3800+ system draws less power than anything else we tested. Still, even these new CPUs can't match the performance of the Core 2 processors that are in the same neighborhood in terms of power draw.
