Athlon 64 FX-60 was present on a few internal documents from AMD with the subject of publishing their upcoming lowered CPU-prices, but they had also ”by a mistake” written down two future models, the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ and Athlon 64 FX-60. Adrenaline Vault, who posted the information, has since then been silenced, but now The Inquirer has published some additional information about the new CPU-models. According to their sources, Athlon 64 X2 5000+ should simply be a increase in clock frequency, from 2.4GHz (4800+) to 2.6GHz, just as we expected. No matter what speculations say, it looks to be exactly the same thing with the Athlon FX-60, which according to the same source still has only one core, and operates at 3.0GHz. No matter what, the Athlon 64 FX-60 should be the last single-core-FX from AMD.
