AMD released two different kinds of desktop processors Tuesday, giving one product line a speed boost while dropping the wattage requirements for the other, more energy-efficient line. On the high end, the company introduced the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+, which should be available immediately from PC makers like Alienware, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Systemax and Voodoo. The dual-core 6000+ now clocks at 3 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache for each core and will likely sell for $464 in units of 1,000 or more.
