These are socket 1207 processors sold in pairs:

Interesting that FX-72 costs $800 for two processors. Each processor is probably as fast as FX-62, and FX-62 is priced at $713(!). Also, press release doesn't mention manufacturing process, which means that these are 0.09 micron processors. My suspicion is is that we won't see 0.065 micron AMD chips this year.

Good to know... Hopefully the prices will drop significantly on X2 chips so I'll be able to upgrade my Athlon XP box to Athlon 64 x2

1kW PSU WOW that is to much power consumption ! I think that PSU is more expensive than my complete PC
