Re: Discontinuing the 1MB processors from volume lines does make sense, as AMD needs to be cost conscious in the upcoming pricing environment, at least until 65nm. I would not be surprised if the 2x1MB resurfaced. Either that or L3. In the meantime, I think it would be advisable for AMD to keep alive more FX speed grades with 2x1MB with high enough premium over 2x512. I don't disagree, but the timing is awful. To kill CPUs three weeks after introduction screams "PANIC MODE!" even if it was done for the right reasons. Deciding not to them at all would have been far less embarrassing. Who in AMD gets the blame for introducing them in the first place? AMD overpromised and underdelivered, and that is something which they can't afford to do often.
