If the release of the Barcelona is early awaited, the Athlon 64 X2 65nm (core Brisbane) line will continue with at least three new models featuring a different type of denomination, the BE-2300 (1.9GHz), BE-2350 (2.1GHz) and BE-2400 (2.3GHz). The latter will have a TDP of 45 Watts instead of 65 Watts for the 3600+, 4000+ et 4400+ respectively running at the same frequencies as the version featuring 2 x 512KB of L2 cache or less. Also, in the case of the BE-2350, the voltage is reduced to 1.16 Volt instead of 1.25 to 1.35V for the current equivalent. Finally, we noted that this new denomination will be extended to the Sempron. Now, we still have to find out if this the abandonment of the P-Rating will also concern the 21 versions of the Phenom...
