AMD Callisto is 45nm Dual Core Phenom II

jmke · 19th February 2009, 18:10

AMD may soon repeat its strategy of lopping two cores off a Phenom and selling it as a cheap Athlon—except this time with a 45nm product. We've already heard rumors that AMD is planning 45nm Athlon X2s based on a new Regor core for a June launch.

Reportedly, Callisto will be based on the 45nm Deneb core that's inside AMD's new Phenom II X4 processors. Just like with the current, Phenom-derived Athlon X2 7750, AMD will simply disable two cores and keep the shared L3 cache intact (6MB in this case). Considering Deneb can match 45nm Core 2 Quads, Callisto could be a formidable competitor to Intel's low-end Core 2 Duo and Pentium processors.
