Fudo reports that AMD will be working on a 3.6GHz Phenom II X4 975. TDP's can be as high as 140W, but that will have to be tolerated for such a speed. We don’t know when AMD plans to launch this CPU, but it’s almost certain that it comes in the first half of 2010. The 3rd Phenom stepping could drop the TDP to 125W. |

Fudo reports that AMD is working on a stepping 3 of the Phenom. It is meant to be low power and aimed at netbooks. Some think that it might be ready even earlier, but the worst case scenario will see the next generation 45nm Deneb revision by late Q2 2010. This is of course, if all stays on schedule and if AMD doesn’t experience any delays. They also believe that AMD will put out a 6 core desktop part mid next year. We don’t know many details about AMD six core but it looks like that they will rework Istanbul and make it more suitable for Desktop. The big issue for both Intel and AMD will be how to put all six cores in use, as programmers still struggle to use four and in many cases even two cores, but the hope dies last. |

I've posted my review of AMD's Athlon II X4 620 processor, which is unbeatable in it's price range for quad cores, the first launching at under $100 at $99. There's no L3 cache and it shares the same 2MB of L2 cache as the other Athlon IIs so if the game doesn't support quad cores it is slower there but otherwise an amazing processor for the price. I also overclocked it all the way to 3.45GHz without an unlocked multplier. Check it out. |
