Well the Athlon 64 X2 5800+ has finally appeared. This is a 512kb L2 cache part running at 3GHz. From what I gather this is a 65nm part at 89 watts. This would make this the highest clocked 65nm part AMD has. I can not yet confirm it since AMD does not have it listed here. Newegg has it here for $89.99 for the OEM version with free shipping. They are offering several combos including a free copy of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, or $25 off a 4870 or $15 off a 4850. It should be interesting what sort of overclocking headroom this guy has.
