New Socket 939 3400 at Newegg.com
Seems there is a A64 socket 939 CPU out that no one has heard of. It's listed as a 2.2 chip. But that is what the 3500 is, guess we'll just have to wait til AMD updates their spec sheets. By the core voltage it would look like it's a 130 nm chip as the 90 nm chips use a default voltage of 1.4. Things are getting a bit confussing.............. :shock:

I just checked Newegg for socket 939 CPUs. All the new low end ones have either been taken down or sold out. Only the 3500 and above are listed.

I have one of these "phantom processors." It's 2.2GHz...512kB cache, but it has a NewCastle core instead of the Winchester core of the 3500.

I think someone has made an error here - the 3400+ were a 754 pin, I can't see them going back to 3400+ with the 939's, that'd be just too confusing.

There are s939 3400+ CPUs in s939 form out there, they were just short lived. If I'm not mistaken, the only difference between it and the 3500+ was the HTT bus:

3400+ = 800MHz (1600MHz effective)
3500+ = 1000MHz (2000MHz effective)

The only 800MHz exception I know of in s939 land. It was also never released in retail form, strictly OEM.

EDIT: Typo

Exactly - and frankly, I'd be surprised to a see a s939 3400+ that wouldn't hit a 1000MHz HTT.

Well I'm not OCing at the moment, does this mean that I will have a perf issue? I read over at AMD's forums about gripes with this proc needing to be set to 800MHz to boot right (mine boots OK)
