Apparently, AMD marketing has been good enough to hide that fact. You won't catch me owning one of those.. It just feels too much to me like buying refurbished merchandise. :-)

Besides, me and my 6400+ X2 are holding out for 45nm AM3. :-D

AMD made a mistake by buying ATi and alienating nVidia in the process. AMD should have partnered with nVidia. nVidia wants to make processors and AMD wants to make video cards - match made in heaven.

But no, they buy the graphics maker known for having the buggiest of graphics cards and even worse drivers. Dumb, Dumb move, AMD. ]]>Sep 10th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Sep 10th 2008 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Sep 10th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Sep 10th 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/

There is a link at the bottom from "MaximumPC"
MaximumPC QUOTE: "Basically, it’s a quad core with one core turned off."

Friggin people shooting down my comment (probably engadget themselves because none of the others are ranked up or down).

EPIC TRUTH IS EPIC! :-P]]>Sep 10th 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Sep 10th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Wherever it is that I read about it (maybe Tom's Hardware, quite possibly here) they discussed it being a positive for AMD, since they get to make at least a little money off their quad cores that didn't pass QA and customers who don't necessarily need quad core can get 3 cores for a decent price.
I guess that may seem a little odd, but as long as the 3 cores that are there are working fine, I don't understand what your huge issue is with it.]]>Sep 10th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/
"The general consensus seems to be that the tri-core processors offer no real surprises: it performs better than a dual-core AMD CPU, yet worse than a quad-core AMD CPU."

"As TG Daily points out, that pits the processors up against the low-end of Intel's Core 2 Duo offerings, which certainly makes 'em an attractive option for those looking to get the most bang for the buck."

Quoting is fun.]]>Sep 10th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/It is common knowledge that CPU's that fare worse in quality testing or have parts that don't function are rebranded as lower end parts - Celerons were Pentiums with parts of the cache disabled as were Durons and Semprons to Athlons.
Don't go spewing mindless hate. The X3 is a good cpu.]]>Sep 10th 2008 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Sep 11th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/amd-slashes-prices-on-triple-core-phenom-x3-processors/Sep 10th 2008 6:40PM
