the Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2Ghz) based on 90nm "Winchester" core packed with 512KB of L2 cache just like the "Newcastle" but the die size is much smaller at ~83mm2 compared to 144mm2.
AMD is also going to launch three low power mobile Athlon 64 processors (35W TDP) based on 90nm "Oakville" core at the same time with speeds from 2700+ (1.6Ghz), 2800+ (1.8Ghz) and 3000+ (2Ghz) in 754 package.
Great news for us silence freaks too, that is if the price is right.
A pitty the 90nm A64 will be s939 only (at launch).

That's the magical number I've been waiting for to upgrade my system
