The link above is for a 1.35v version of the A64. Since the desktop A64 hits similar ghz to the desktop barton putting it about 10% higher in performance thanks to hyperthreading, this new 1.35v A64 will likely be the top performing overclocked amd cpu for those not wanting to shell out $300+ for a cpu. But it will be more than twice as expensive as the 1.35v and 1.45v amd xp, so its still not as good a deal as they are and imo will not replace them as the most popular amd cpu to oc.
The 1.45v and 1.35v mobile bartons are actually better overclockers than the 2500+.
