http://www.avault.com/news/displaynews.asp?story=10242005-5234Today AMD officially dropped the prices on most of their processor line but AVault was able to get a hold of an internal document that shows the pricing for 1Q 06. The big surprise is that AMD also has listed the FX-60 and 5000+ processors.
At this time I am not sure why AMD has skipped over FX-59 but I have an idea. At the ECS Editors day event a few short months ago I asked an AMD represenitive is the next FX processor would be a dual core solution and was told that it would not be. Now it is looking like AMD may have changed their mind on the FX-59 and turned it into a dual core called FX-60.
If you look at the dual core Opteron processors that are available today you see the naming scheme goes by fives, 260, 265, 260, ect. For AMD to release a dual core FX chip it would make sense to bring it out in increments of five and FX-64 just does not have the same ring to it as FX-65. I can only assume that if FX-60 is not dual core then FX-65 will be.
For the 5000+, it is almost guaranteed to be a 2.6 GHz product. Those luck few I know running 4800+ processors are all reporting overclocks above 2.6 and doing it on the stock coolers with minimal effort.
