Net Reviews: AMD Athlon64 3000+

It has been some time since AMD released its first Athlon64 processors, but due to their high prices few people have been rushing out to buy this latest processor. To address this solution, AMD has quietly released a new low cost version of the CPU. Anandtech has a review of the new AMD Athlon64 3000+. This CPU runs at the same speed of the 3200+ processor, but it has half the cache size at just a bit more than half the price.
