That's right! $219

January 18!


This guy could just be lying, but these are godly prices and timing.

I would believe it more if he could spell "carry" correctly lol

Ditto.

hmm those prices are real, and the overclocking potential AMD has said is also real. im probably gonna buy a cheap phenom II oc to like 4ghz on air

But I wonder if they are the AM3 Phenoms or the updated AM2 versions?


I am wondering because the AM3 versions require a new motherboard and would not be so cheap!

AM3 Phenoms will run on AM2 Boards. So this is a plus.

I think they have 2 less pins then am2 proccessors
