[QUOTE="SunnyBoi, post: 78443, member: 138"] AMD stops production of Socket 939 Opterons : No more enthusiast-frenzy products... THE LAUNCH of Opterons for Socket 939 was obviously just a smoke in the mirror. The complete stock of Opterons model number 14x and 16x (dual-core) dissapeared from e-tailers and retailers, with hundreds of overclockers buying even six or eight CPU's at the same time. Reason: Opteron, a 1MB L2 cache processor was priced lower than Athlon 64 models with 512KB of L2 cache. Also, those Opteron babies were bad-boys when it comes to cooling, working at 2.7-2.9 GHz with air-cooling - at zero problems, with a lower operating temperature than default-clocked Pentium D 840. This has come to a close, as we have received a document that goes to show that company has decided to stop production of several different SKU's. Stopped items from AMD for Q4 SDA2500BXBOX SDA3100BXBOX ADA3000BPBOX ADA3200BPBOX ADA3500BPBOX 939pin Opterons You can see that the company has stopped production of Sempr0n 2500+, 3100+ and Athlon 64 3000+, 3200+ and 3500+, all in Processor-In-Box (PIB) format.
