AMD’s New Phenom Chips to Consume 45W

jmke · 2nd July 2007, 15:15

In a bid to increase competitiveness of its microprocessor lineup as well as to make computers based on a number of next-generation chips more energy efficient, Advanced Micro Devices will introduce a number of low-power desktop chips in Q1 2008, according to sources close to the company.

AMD will offer three at least three models of dual-core AMD Phenom X2 processors with 45W thermal design power, sources close to AMD indicated. The new AMD Phenom X2 chips based on the new micro-architecture from the chipmaker will not have high TDP, though, they are projected to offer performance levels inline or higher with today’s dual-core AMD Athlon 64 X2 products with decreased power consumption.

only faster than the X2, that won't be sufficent to get a good rating for performance per watt
