Will Apple
enter the videogame console war? On that note Apple's rumoured iPhone
has been rumoured to be delayed. AMD has added the Athlon64
X2 5400+ and 5600+ to its processor lineup quietly.
The new CPUs come in 5400+ and 5600+ variants, but the clock speed for both
is the same: 2.8GHz. The difference is the amount of L2 cache per core. While
the 5400+ comes with X2-typical 512KB per core (total: 1MB), the 5600+ comes
with 1MB of L2 cache per core (total: 2MB) giving it equal specs to top-of-the-line
AM2 CPU, the Athlon 64 FX-62 and the newly introduced FX-72 (the one using Socket
1207FX).
