AMD releases New budget CPU line with All new Phenom and Athlon additions

Share

Arriving today are five new AMD CPUs that promise to “give mainstream consumers advanced performance capabilities from their desktop PCs at increasingly attractive price points”.

The picks of the bunch are arguably the latest addition to AMD’s dual-core Phenom X2 line and a new quad-core Athlon II X4. AMD’s dual-core Phenom - the 3.2GHz Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition - becomes the company’s fastest dual-core desktop offering and carries a TDP of 80W and a thousand-unit price tag of just $99, suggesting decent refinements to GlobalFoundries’ 45nm fabrication process.
