Does anyone know where i can get hold of a socket 939 X2 4400+ processor with the 1Mb L1 and L2 cache? I wanna upgrade my pc, im on a tight budget, and my current processor is the weakest part (athlon64 3000+). Cant seem to find anywhere thats still got them in stock.

I might be insane here, but 1MB L1 cache???
I thought the X2s had 128k L1 cache?

 

Yep:

• Retail
• Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core
• Model: 4400+
• Operating Mode: 32/64
• Stepping: E6
• Frequency: 2200Mhz
• HT Speed: 2000
• Voltage: 1.30V1.35V
• Max Temp: 49-65°C
• L1 Cache: 128KB x2
• L2 Cache: 1MB x2
• CMOS Technology: 90nm SOI
• Socket Socket: 939

 

I know it's not in the UK, but: link

 

I thought the X2 was 940?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 Retail AM2

Here's one from Aria (UK) £86 plus VAT

 

The 939 socket CPU's are dying out, the AM2 socket has took over. And cheeky that processor is for the AM2 socket not the 939.

Hold on here we are:-

Thanks Ken, I hear Intel with their Dual Core are wiping the floor with AMD processors. Is that true???

One of the guys at work told me this and he stated that until AMD release the QUAD speed. AMD will lose the market on CPU's?

 

Yeah thats normally the case but there is a 4400+ version with 1mb (2x512), it does exist, il try and hunt a link out for it.

 

X2 4400+ im after mate, you been on the guiness again

 

YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN AMD ATHLON 64 4400+ X2 DUAL CORE 2.200 GHz PROCESSOR WITH 2x 1MB L2 CACHE. IT IS SOCKET 939. NOTE THAT THIS IS THE FASTER 2X 1MB CACHE VERSION. IT IS TESTED AND FULLY WORKING, COMING FROM MY OWN SYSTEM.

Ebay link here. Il hunt down a more official one

Here ya go

Seems im slightly mixed up. There is one that has 2x512 to make the 1mb L2 and then there is the one im after that has 2x1mb L2 cache

I wish! But none in stock.

Here we are Amazon has one not the cheapest I might add but at least it's in the UK!

 

Indeed they are
primarily in the desktop and low end server market though

for heavy workloads and mid to large smp configurations the AMDs still win hands down

at the low end the intel has a heat, power and performance gain, but the intel quad cores are just two dual core bits of silicon slapped together

amds quad core out later this year is a true quad core solution (note im talking about server processors here) coupled with the hypertransport and on die memory controller the opteron still holds its own in the smp arena, in fact intel dont even have a chipset that supports more than 4 sockets any more (mainly due to massive contention on the FSB for memory access from what could be 16 or 32 cores!)

amds release later this year will also include enhanced AMT-V technology such as NBT which will increase performance for VMS 20 - 30% out of the box, this is one of the main driving workloads sustaining server sales, especially in the mid range arena

Intels come back to hypertransport (CSI) is not due out till 2008 so until then intel will continue to not do quite as well in the heavy workload arena

 

What phoenix says. And that would be what i would be getting, but moneys tight and i figure that the processor is the best available option for me at the moment. Its the #1 pc in my sig that i wanna upgrade.

@phoenix, wheres the pics mate, you been to busy?

 

Yeah what he said!

Also why don't CF pinned all the photos in one place??
