AMD shrinks TDP on Phenom II X3s and X4s
 

AMD MAY HAVE anticipated its launch of the energy efficient Phenom II and Athlon II processors by a week or so, if some etailers and disties are to be believed.


There are 6 new processors, plus 2 Opterons which we've left out due to sheer laziness. On the shallower end of the price pool you've got the Athlon II X2 (Regor) 250, running at a zippy 3GHz, equipped with 512KB of L2 cache per core and 1MB of L3. The packaging is AM3, in case you're wondering, and we hope that means a DDR3-capable memory controller for upgradability. Power is 65W TDP. Pricing in €uroland is a measly €80.
