I can't wait!!! - If only because by June 6th it'll mean S939 prices will get lower!!

So on AM2, the FX-60 (2.6ghz) will have a TDP of 89W whereas the FX-62 (2.8) will have TDP of 125W?

That doesn't sound right. They make it sound as though the FX-62 would be produced on an older 90nm process.

But anyway, hats off to them for lowering the power consumption of all the other upcoming AM2 processors. We just need to see the performance of them

FX62 will use a 90nm tech geared towards performacne, the other will use one with less leakage, but less performacne. In other words they won't overclock nearly as well, but they will use less power.
