At the end of 2006 AMD began releasing new version of its Athlon 64 X2 processors. The new processor version is using a 65 nanometer that has allowed AMD to reduce the cost of the chips and made possible low power consumption. AMD has chosen not to release 65nm versions of every one of its processors so any model number higher than 5000+ is still constructed using a 90nm process.
With the help of the 65nm technology AMD reduced the cost of its processor and made possible of a low power consumption of this chips, just 65 watts.The chip presented here is Athlon 64 6000+ that is made on 90nm architecture.
the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is AMD's fastest and most powerful K8-based desktop chip yet. The processor is also faster than the Athlon 64 FX62, which up until recently was AMD's high-end desktop processor.
The new CPU is come clocked at 3 GHz , making it the fastest processor available for AM2 , with 1 MB of L2 cache per core.
AMD declares the maximum thermal power of the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ at 125 W and voltage is between 1.35V and 1.40V, the same value for other Athlon 64 X2 90nm processors
