Are the 2600+ Bartons out yet? When will they? Where can I get one? And finally, how does it compare to a 2500+.

AMD processor with 512K L2 cache.

Quote: It's important for the AMD strategy to get the Hammer architecture up and running, but the Barton helps provide a profit-generating bridge between the Athlon XP and the Athlon 64. The transitional Barton core, which is basically an improved version of the current Athlon XP with a doubled (512K) Level 2 cache, takes something good and makes it better -- just as Intel did with the Pentium 4 Northwood core.

Your local neighborhood store should have plenty in stock

Oops, sorry, don't know if they make 2600's
I see 2500, 2800, 3000, and 3200 in the local store.

For performance guidelines, see THG's processor comparisons

You're probably right, but I think Barton could be clocked higher or rated lower... Barton is still a fine CPU, anyway... But Northwood was much more improvement over Willamette than Barton was to T-bred-B...

Yep, the rating system by AMD sure looks like a marketing ploy. Not an AMD fanboy here. Had 3 Intels but just had to buy an AMD lately. Couldn't resist the price/performance on my budget
