This might actually be a good alternative providing it doesn't cost more than $250(which is still $100 more than the 805) and not one of those elusive bits like the s939 Sempron...

2.0ghz 256k cache....hmm it might be not bad if cheap, although i would think a 1.8ghz with 512cache would be a better option, but i guess they dont want people to get em for cheap and get same performance as higher clocked more expencive cpus, since the 256k part will need much higher clocks to get similar performance.

Might as well just call it a Sempron X2 with that ammount of cache...but still, that's pretty cool.

you're confusing me! where did you read that 256k cache thing?
in the link provided, it lists 2000MHz clockspeed and 512k cache, or is that not per core but total for the two cores? ah well, makes sense i guess as it can't be equivalent to the 3800+ after all.

but following AMD's rating numbers for higher models, the 3600+ is supposed to be 1.8GHz with 1MB L2 per core, equivalent to the Opteron 165. price of the thing should be somewhere below $285 (which was the price of the 165 i think). imagine if they really released such a beast! this time around with enough availability and all, unlike the opteron

Below is what is stated in the link provided by the OP.

????? 2×256KB L2
CPU?? Athlon 64 X2 3600+
CUP??[MHz] 2000

In other words, 256KB of L2 cache, CPU name is X2 3600+, and speed is 2000mhz. Even an english speaker shouldn't have had any problems deciphering that.

I think it is a type error on the site....
