Single-core Athlons to be phased out

[Mr. Smith]

AMD has begun to phase out its single-core Athlon processor lineup...

News

Makes sense

With the X2's being so dirt cheap it's no wonder...

 

[Toxcity]

The end of the single core generation.

Good in a way sad in another.

Then maybe software producers will producer more multi-core applications?

You would think that wouldnt ya.. we will see tho

Aww, sad too see them go tbh.

939 was the best socket ive seen yet

 

[Rastalovich]

On a more serious note perhaps, this is the time to get u`rself a backup processor if u have a critical system. Semps don`t cut it for me.

As soon as the manufs get a wind of this they may sell them like antiques

Sucks, cause what im running now is perfectly fine for anything i do. Im sure a single core on AM2+ or something would be even better. Whatever.

QFT, built a couple of systems for friends off of it and my laptop has it, I just love that socket.

Agreed

DFI NF4 mobo + 939 proccy = Uberness 0

 

[Nagaru]

That is the exact setup of one of the systems. He edits high definition video on it and it handles it like nothing.

DFI Lanparty SLI-DR plus S939 X2 = pwnage tbh
