AMD Athlon II and Phenom II X2 Processors Debut @ HotHardware.com - 06/02/09 03:35 AM

Hello Everyone,



AMD is using the prominence of the Computex show in Taipei to unveil a slew
of new, affordable desktop processors. A few of them are based on the
existing core used in the company's Phenom II processor line-up, but one of
them is comprised of a new piece of silicon that pays homage to the once
might Athlon brand.



We've got four new AMD processors on tap for this article, low power quad-
and triple-cores, and a pair of new dual-cores. The 3.1GHz AMD Phenom II X2
550 Black Edition is positioned as AMD's fastest dual-core processor ever,
while the Phenom II X3 705e is a low-power triple-core CPU. The Phenom II X4
905e is a low-power 65w quad-core, and the brand new Athlon II X2 250 is
AMD's latest high-performing, budget-class dual-core processor.



All of these processors share some similarities, of course, but each one is
positioned for a somewhat different market segment. Come on by and take a
look...
