[Rumour] AMD updates Phenom II/Athlon II roadmap VRNews Nov 3rd, 09, 12:52 PM #1 (permalink)
According to Digitimes, AMD is making several changes to its CPU schedules, particularly corresponding to the Phenom II line. Phenom II X4 910 and 945 are EOL already. AMD will stop taking orders for a whole raft of CPUs starting Q1 2010. These CPUs will be currently existing steppings of Phenom II X4 925, 965, 810; Phenom II X3 720; Phenom II X2 540; Athlon II X4 620; and Athlon II X3 425. A new stepping of Phenom II CPUs is expected to hit, reducing power consumptions of several Phenom II products. Phenom II X4 955 is expected to move to 95W, Phenom II X4 965 to 125W. A new Phenom II X4 965, clocked at 3.6 GHz is also rumoured as part of this new stepping. More details next page.

A 3GHz 6-core should sound so much better to the average user... I mean, Intel's EE is rumored to work at 2.4... Major win for AMD if they can do it. I can't see in the future, but I expect it to do very well, provided the pricing is right, the performance gap shouldn't be worse than what it is at the moment either. Same amount of L3 memory for anything in between (and including) dual-cores and hexa-cores seem unimpressive and uninspired somewhat, but...
