AMD mole digs up new desktop mobos
Phenom cools down
SOURCES INSIDE AMD's manufacturing machine appear to have leaked details of a brace of new desktop CPUs due for release before the end of the year to Digitimes.
The line-up is expected to include two new 95W rated 45nm Phenom X4 processors with core frequencies between 2.5-2.8GHz and 2.4-2.7GHz. These will replace the 125W Phenom X4 9750 which will have the last orders bell rung on it this coming June.
On the low-power front, the Phenom X4 9350e (Agena) 8450e (Tollman) and the 45nm quad-core (Propus) will appear in the market in the third quarter.
According to the sauces, the company is also planning to launch an updated version of its upcoming Phenom X4 9950 (scheduled to launch in June) at the end of the fourth quarter.
Samples should be out there in the real world by the tail end of this summer. µ

45nm?
AMD will have 45nm process up by 3rd quarter???hard to believe
yum
i like saucenot hard to believe
Actually since they showed the 45nm tech off last year and showed a sample chip this year its not hard to believe they will have it up and running.... The hardest part is already done....but as it is not just a process shrink there are potential problems as with all new cpu designs...get a move on
the P4 EE did very well even though it had ridiculous power requirements. AMD get a clue and put something like that out while you are pushing for 45nm completion. I want an X4 2.8GHz, I dont care what the Wattage! in fact, make it double wattage and bump it up to 3.4GHz.
