AMD to release Black Edition X2...
Some are looking as if AMD are already on the slippery slop to nowhere, but will their latest rendition of the (dying) Athlon64 help to slow them down?
AMD's last hurrah for it's 90nm X2 Processor... Would anyone with an AM2 bored be inclined to upgrade to a Black Edition X2 or is just a waste of money?  Opinions please...

I do however like the name... Black Edition. I wonder if they'll make it a limited edition with a black PCB. That'd be cool!
I doubt it as Black retains heat so... that puts the fire out on my... fire. :/

Hmmm.... I'd like to make a totally Black rig.
The black PCBs would be hard to find I guess - excluding the soundcard. Manufacturers should give you a choice of what colour PCB you want. Stupid manufacturers.

I really don't think this is something to take all that seriously. This is more of a collectors item rather than AMD's latest and fastest or anything. I like AMD's attitude with this because it may mean one of two things: This is the death of AMD as we know it and here is some artistic proof, or the Phenom brand is going to bury the old Athlons and whatever else thier is out there. We will see.

But I do have a not-so-technically-inclined friend who will probably buy a couple of these for his AM2 systems. It's a drop-in upgrade for him. |

reminds me of the demise of the p4 (right about the time it came out i think damn netburst architecture
 ) releasing a 3.7ee, amd is looking silly imo releasing a 3.2 X2, how can they expect this to sell or why bother when they cant compete at the moment, seems to me its just another marketing ploy to try and hold onto some kind of market share while they scramble to get there next gen chips ready

If they don't hurry up and get the proper Phenom X4s out soon after that, then the 45nm Penyrn will steal up the market, and that's before Intel start using an an on-die memory controller and CSI. If so, AMD will end up like Texas Instruments.

I never said they were dead. In fact they're doing really well now they've stopped fabricating chips.

They'd stop fabricating CPUs and sell the their DFM (design for manufacturing) talents .
They are the 2nd best x86 chip markers after all, and they're methodologies are one of the most sophisticated.
