The AM2 Availability Thread

[Bateluer]

Only Monarch so far

And the CPUs have a 4-6 day ship time.

Post which e-tailers have them instock here.

NewEgg has 2 AM2 boards, no CPUs as of yet. Need to search for AM2 as it is not listed as an option for AMD motherboards.

FlickerDown looks to have OEM CPUs in stock:

www.overclockers.co.uk apparently have had AM2 boards in stock for some while now. AM2 CPU's are listed as 1-3 days

 

[Dkcode]

Still waiting on the processors though.

Newegg has a Sempron 3400+ in stock...its PR rating is ridiculous, too. It's equivalent to the 3100+ 939 Sempron, and costs $120...I can get a 3100+ at Outpost for $60.

 

[tbike06]

But they dont sell 939 semprons.

 

[Bateluer]

Seems that availability is happening fairly fast, which is good. Hopefully we'll see some X2s in quantity soon.

Hehe, I just need them to be instock friday morning.

 

[pkme2]

Great news and cheaper prices.

You have to remember that it now has a Dual-Channel memory controller.

Looks like Socket AM2 is going to be an awesome budget platform... Besides all I can afford is a Sempron/Celeron Anyway... Thank you AMD for bringing a powerful budget platform that is very feature rich and stable...

 

[Bateluer]

Still waiting on more processor availability.

 

[the Chase]

Yeah they haven't excatly flooded the market with these yet...I wonder why AMD was so hush-hush about the CPU's before launch? They ended up being nothing different than what the previews were and no suprises...Oh well.

Brief Update:

http://www.novatech.co.uk - AM2 X2 4000 & 4800 in stock.

http://www.dabs.com (UK) - AM2 X2 4800, Sempron 3000, A64 3500 & 3800 in stock.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk - AM2 A64 3500, 3800, Sempron 2800, 3000, 3400 & 3600 in stock.

 

[EffeX]

When will ZZF have X2 4000+s?

 

[Jaimie]

Any idea on Energy Efficient availability? That seems to be the real win for AM2.

I'm looking forward to the lowest end Sempron, supposedly around $70 for a 2800+ AM2 Sempron. Couple that with a cheap $70 overclockable board to make for a great budget build.

 

[bob661]

Looks like they're up to 4 CPU's on Newegg.

But is the less than 2% performance improvement offered via having a dual channel memory controller worth a 100% price difference?

I have to agree with dguy. The 3400 is WAY too much money.
