Full story

Any ideas about the price after 24th July???

it looks more like a dual core Sempron, but it's out for one reason only....defeat PEentium D 805, but they shouldn't have decresed the cache, in AMD64 architecture cache does makes a lot of difference

Actually cache dosen't make any difference to the current gen AMD processors. That's why AMD is reverting back to 512 KB cache from 1 MB for their fastest processors.

whats so cool about tis,plz tell me :-(

It's a low cost dual core by AMD. Their previous cheapest dual core, X2 3800+ was too expensive for most so this lets AMD fans go dual core without burning a hole in their pocket. Also it's pitted against the Pentium D 805 which although is a good proccy has major heat issues. X2 3600+ will perform at the same level and keep temperatures under control.
