Please place link that disscuses the differences or actually discuss them in the article please. This article is plainer and more vanilla than a press release.
these could make for a good HTPC processor too. Something that doesn't need to be overclocked and just sits and runs day in, day out all the time for years.

John,

Those are the old B Athlons. These 4 aren't the first, just the latest.
Dell has them, and more than just 4;

AMD PHENOM™ 9600B (2.3GHz,512KBX4) 

AMD PHENOM™ 8600B (2.3GHz,512KBX3) 

AMD ATHLON™ 5400B (2.8GHz,512KBX2) 

AMD ATHLON™ 5000B (2.6GHz,512KBX2) 

AMD ATHLON™ 4450B (2.3GHz, 512KBx2) 

AMD ATHLON™ 1640B (2.7GHz, 512KB)
