Advanced Micro Devices Tuesday pledged to release a version of its upcoming enthusiast desktop product, code-name 4x4, at less than $1000.

Pat Moorhead, AMD's vice president of global channel marketing, said the 4x4—essentially two dual-core Athlon 64 FX processors on a motherboard tuned for gaming— will be released in multiple configurations. One configuration, he said, will consist of a "two CPU bundle configured at significantly less than $1,000."

"This will not be limited to just the elite enthusiasts," he said. Moorhead spoke at to a group of journalists convened at AMD's Sunnyvale, Calif., headquarters. AMD also demonstrated a version of the 4x4, but declined to let journalists view the 4x4 product. AMD officials have said the 4x4 will be released by the holiday season this year.
