Where is AMD's budget 939 processor??!?

[eflat]

Doesn't AMD have a budget processor (celeron equilivant) for their 939 boards they are converting everyone to?

Do you think they will be out in the next month or so? I need a budget processor for this computer business I'm starting and was really enthusiastic about using AMD until I found out they don't have their sempron in the 939 format yet.

I would hate to have to go to intel because of this.

not likely.the only ones i seen where in HP boxes so AMD's probably only giving them to a select few companies.

Amd budget cpu = socket 754 sempron. Performance =939 a64. Amd wants to keep them separate, I guess to sell more motherboards when people upgrade.

My guess is that you won't be able to get your hands on a socket 939 sempron until amd introduces their new "performance" socket.

quit complaining, u can already get a 3000+ for $146 at newegg.com UR NOT A NEWB, AND YOU KNOW ABOUT NEWEGG, RIGHT? Budget = < 4000+ You get the same CPU for a lower price because of the defects inherent on the silicon itself. That's why it is possible to even overclock it. Also, Budget = Overclock it.

Overclocking an A64 (in case you were wondering...)

The Venice 3000+ is the budget chip.

There's basically no competition at all from Intel in this area, so they have not released any budget 939 processors. All 939 systems currently out-perform intel, and until Intel releases something better, AMD is going to keep bringing in the $$ Good thing for AMD, bad thing for us
