AMD Updates Athlon 64 Line

AMD beefed up its line of processors with new models. They released the 45-watt Athlon 64 single-core processors in 3500+ and 3800+. They also introduced the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+, yet another option for all you speed fanatics with deep pockets. These newer models are continuing the trend of low-power high-performance chips that AMD churned out the later half of last year. Everything looks promising. Looks like the days of dual-core Semprons (budget chips) are drawing nearer.
