AMD 65nm 35w CPUs coming...

Hopefully they won't be vaporware like the current 35w AMD desktop CPUs that we've only seen on HP slimline computers.

Would love to pair a 35w AMD with a Scythe Ninja fanless and DVI-integrated mobo for a HTPC system...

They seem to be avalible here in DK. http://www.edbpriser.dk/Products/Listpr ... ?ID=205249 Notice the core voltage 1.025/1.075. However at 2644 DKK, they are quite expensive compared to the other two flavors comming in at around 1120 DKK.

I'm looking forward to these CPUs. Might have to hold off buying my new system until there are available. Would they be running in any AM2 board?

Btw, have you noticed the strange clock frequencies of the Brisbane cores (2.1, 2.3, 2.7GHz)? Makes the selection of suitable RAM quite tricky.

[Schroinx]

Yes, it is a AM2 part.

The memory you say? shouldn't these be similar to the plain vanilla cpu?

The Memory multi should work out better with these new clockspeeds.

Why should it work out better? Especially the CPUs with a frequency of 2500 and 2700 MHz will be worse off no matter which RAM type you're using. At 2500 MHz DDR2-800 loses 11%, DDR2-667 7% and DDR2-533 still 6%. At 2700 MHz it's a bit better with a loss of -4%, -10% and -8% for DDR2-800, 667 and 533 respectively. (I hope I didn't stuff up the calculations... )

Don't get me wrong, I don't think you'd actually notice the difference but 10% is still considerable.

Update: I just read in the Comments section of the original link that AMD will be introducting half-multipliers. That would make sense (e.g. 13.5 x 200 = 2700).
