AMD announced two AMD Athlon II X4 processors this morning. The AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor is the industry’s first and only sub-$100 quad-core processor at this time as it is priced at $99. The other processor is the AMD Athlon II X4 630 processor, which costs $129 and has a multiplier increase that is good for a higher overall clock frequency. Both of these processors feature a 200MHz bus with a 2000MHz HT link and memory support for both DDR2 (up to 1,066 MT/s) and DDR3 (up to 1,333 MT/s). So, what is missing to make these processors so inexpensive?

also powerfull video cards are not that ecofriendly these days as well as the 10k raptor hdd. it would be nice to see some config that is actually built for power efficency. i don't use my pc for gaming, but i use it with sql server and visual studio and i care how much power it uses in idle and how quiet it is. in conclusion i care about how fast my pc is but i also care about how efficient it is.
