AMD Readies Phenom II X6 1100T, 1065T, Phenom II X4 975

Advanced Micro Devices plans to refresh its lineup of high-performance central processing units (CPUs) in the fourth quarter of this year, X-bit labs has learnt. In particular, the company wants to introduce new top-of-the-range six-core chip as well as the fastest quad-core microprocessor. In addition, the company will further broaden the line of its Phenom II X6 "Thuban" products with a relatively affordable CPU.

In an attempt to boost performance of its six-core and quad-core processors in advance of the Holiday season, AMD intends to release two new six-core processors Phenom II X6 1100T (3.30GHz), which will be the fastest chip the company has to offer and Phenom II X6 1065T (2.90GHz), which will be the highest-performance six-core offering with 95W thermal design power. In addition, the company will itroduce its most powerful quad-core Phenom II X4 975 chip with 3.60GHz clock-speed. The chips are specifically aimed at the higher end of the market and will rise performance bar for AMD central processing units.

The forthcoming introduction of a faster six-core offering in Q4 2010 may indicate that Advanced Micro Devices is now seeing higher yields of six-core Phenom II X6 "Thuban" processors at Globalfoundries using 45nm SOI fabrication process. The further expansion of six-core product family with an expensive and mainstream parts is likely to slightly increase average selling prices and consequently revenues of AMD.

How dare they bring a CPU out with a higher model number than mine

 

[Doughnut007]

Hmm maybe a chance if a price drop for the older ones then...

 

[psychas]

i dont really see the point 1100t only 100mhz faster same power. waits for bulldozer

 

[HeX]

I want to know why they are still bringing out Deneb quads, where's my Zosma dag nabbit

deleted, already here.

 

[milkinc13]

yet more Intel undercutting i see

 

[zoomee]

LOL - A measly 100Mhz?

bah - not interested till they can hit 4ghz+ on all 6 cores

Thought they easily could on the 95w models? :O
