AMDs first energy efficient Phenom II CPUs closing in fast
With the Phenom II X4 955 and 945 out and doing their part to grab more market share from Intel, AMD is preparing a new wave of AM3 processors which includes no less than eight energy efficient parts. Likely to arrive next month (maybe at Computex), the e-series DDR3-supporting quad- and triple-core CPUs bear both the Phenom and Athlon brands and feature TDPs of 45W and 65W (depending on model).
As detailed in the chart below, the 65W AM3 line-up includes two Phenom II X4s (905e and 900e) and two X3s (705e and 700e), while the 45W pack features the L3 cache-less Athlon II X4 605e, 600e, X3 405e and 400e. The processors prices have yet to be revealed.
