Yes, I can see that...good point...media center pc's would love the dual core and that would be very reasonable at $130...;>)

"The most useful part out of Chartered will be the 3600+ dual core. It will be popular for SFF and Media Center PCs." Yes, but not for those uses. The greatest potential for X2 3600+ is the commercial sector. A single core is powerful enough for most office tasks, the second core is there when needed, the power consumption is low and it can be extremely profitable at $100 or more.

Re: The most useful part out of Chartered will be the 3600+ dual core. It will be popular for SFF and Media Center PCs. How do you know Chartered will make it? If Chartered is making it don't you think that production will be geared toward high yields rather than low power consumption? AMD's 2GHz 512KBx2 Turion X2s are already bumping up against the 35W limit. I believe any Chartered X2 3600+ output, if it exists at all, will be geared toward standard desktop use and power consumption will be very close to that of a standard X2 3800+. That should still make it good enough for most SFFs and Media Centers, but nothing special.
