AMD's 35W dual-core Athlon hits the shelves

@ 2008/07/03
With the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ EE SFF, AMD has raised the power efficiency bar even higher, or should we say lower. This is the first 35W desktop dual-core CPU on the market, as if 45W of the previously introduced EE parts wasn't low enough. It's a 90nm CPU clocked at 2.0GHz, but considering the €33 price tag and ridiculously low TDP, this looks like quite a deal, especially if coupled with a cheap and energy efficient 780G mATX board.
