Pricing for Athlon 64 leaks (already posted?)

[bobindashadows]

Hey all. I found this, but it wasn't deemed worthy for MacBytes - I wasn't sure if it had already been posted. Feel free to close it, but I searched a bit (ok, only 3 searches) and couldn't find it on the forums. Here it is:

WHEN AMD introduces its 3200+ (2GHz) Athlon 64 on the 23rd September, it will charge around $399 for the single channel DDR 754 pin model. In October, it will introduce a 3400+ version of the chip.

And its Athlon 64 FX, which is a 940 pin dual channel DDR chip, is expected to cost over $650, but will not use AMD's "PR" rating.

Meanwhile, the Athlon 64 FX with 939 pins will now launch at the end of the first quarter of next year, and we understand it won't now be compatible with the 940 pin version, meaning a motherboard change.

This chip is currently codenamed San Diego, and had been expected to be released in Q1 of next year. µ

How much does the 970 cost? I assume you are able to just buy the processor, if you want, I mean I know it isn't the same as the x86 world but it appears like it would be possible since it is used in more than just Apple's products.
