The Kuma and Phenom FX canceled Posted on 10/06/2008 at 22:23 by Nicolas
According to HKEPC, AMD has quite simply canceled the release of the Athlon (X2) 6000 (formerly the Phenom X2) based on the Kuma core, the dual version of K10 architecture. Given the current performances of the Phenom X3 and the resulting positioning on the market, this in fact seems logical. An Athlon X2 5600B, still based on the G2 revision of the K8 "Brisbane" core, should soon be launched to ‘’plug holes’’ lower down the line.
The Phenom FX-80 65nm destined for monoprocessor PCs are also being done away with like the Phenom FX-90.
