AMD releases X2 3600+: Great budget processor for Media Centers

AMD Has quietly released another Dual core processor aimed at competing with intels low end PentiumD line. Unfortunately for Intel, this Socket AM2 processor will run much cooler than anthing Intel will have to offer at the same price point. The X2 3600+ will run at 2.0GHz and have two 256KB L2 caches (one per core). At the moment it seems nearly impossible for one to get their hands on this processor due to unexpectedly high demand. We expect initial pricing to be in the $140 range and to quickly begin dropping down as low as $100-$120.
