"Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will precede rival Intel's midyear product launches with four new Athlon 64 processors, expected to be introduced Tuesday at the Computex exhibition in Taipei.

The Athlon 64 3800+, 3700+, and 3500+ are faster versions of the mainstream Athlon 64 product family. The Athlon FX-53 is a specialized Athlon 64 chip that caters to a small group of PC users that demand the most performance available.

AMD changed the packaging technology for the Athlon 64 3800+, the 3500+ and the Athlon FX-53. Those processors now use 939 pins, unlike previous versions of the Athlon 64 family that used 754 pins and previous FX chips that used 940 pins...."
