Amd multicore- phenom x3 roadmap

 

According to Taiwan’s PC industry, because most manufacturers to AMD reflects the recognition by deleting the number of multi-core, will lead to consumer confusion it is easy to buy and even affect sales, in the assessment of the new AMD processor brand name Phenom Law, B3 version will revert to the old “Xn” multi-core naming rules.

It was noted that the PC industry, AMD announced last week once again changes AMD Phenom processor brand name, will be the revival of the Athlon 64 times has been used to identify the multi-core, quad-core, the three core and dual-core products will be available on Reply “X4 , “” X3 “and” X2 “character, this policy will be in the B3 version of the upcoming Phenom processors and AMD Athlon processors to achieve.

Impact of changes on the brand, the PC industry need to update the BIOS Microcode, processors Logo picture, and the Better by Design labels also need to update expected before May the new brand policy can be applied to all products.

In addition, the access industry also disclosed that the AMD versions of the three core B3, AMD is expected to be in the April 24 formal shipments, including Phenom X3 8450 (2.1GHz/95W TDP), Phenom X3 8650 (2.3GHz/95W TDP) and Phenom X3 8750 (2.4GHz/95W TDP).

It is worth noting that, although the B3 version of the TLB problem has been resolved, but we have not let the core clock substantial expansion of the Hong Kong distributor noted that the Phenom X4 9950 processors still have to be available in June, but 2.6GHz core clock TDP still amounted to a maximum of 140 W, I believe in the 65nm shipments substantially under 3 GHz Phenom X4, there a certain degree of difficulty, a great chance to the 45-nanometer process, that is, the fourth quarter of this year, a chance to address the core clock unable to upgrade dilemma.
