@ 2008/11/17Last week at its Financial Analyst Day presentation, AMD revealed that 45nm Phenom processors will be dubbed Phenom II X4 and the first models will launch at the next Consumer Electronics Show in early January. Right on cue, Expreview has now reworked its predictions with a new roadmap and full model numbers for several future Phenoms.
While previous documents led us to believe Phenom II X4s would carry five-digit model numbers, Expreview says AMD will go with three digits. Expect the following two chips to come out at CES, then: a 3GHz Phenom II X4 940 and a 2.8GHz Phenom II X4 920, both with 125W thermal envelopes and Socket AM2+ compatibility. The chips will be followed by Socket AM3 derivatives with DDR3 memory support in February.
