We now know almost everything about the Phenom II from slides published by AMD on the Asian site IT168.com. Programmed for January 8, 2009, the Phenom II X4 940 and 920 will be clocked at 3.0 and 2.8 GHz and based on the Deneb 45nm core with its L3 cache of 6 MB. The 940 will have an unlocked multiplier for overclockers, AMD talking about a clock ceiling of around 3.8-3.9 GHz in air and over 4 GHz with watercooling. Both these CPUs are type AM2+ and will will have a TDP of 125W.
AM3s will follow in February, with DDR3-1333 support on top of DDR2-1066 and will have a TDP of 95W. 6 CPUs are programmed, namely the Phenom II X4 925 and 910, at 2.8 and 2.6 GHz with an L3 cache of 6 Mb, the Phenom II X4 810 and 805, at 2.6 and 2.5 GHz with 4 MB of L3, and the Phenom II X3 720 and 710, at 2.8 and 2.6 GHz with 6 MB of L3.
Then in April, we will see the processors derived from the Propus core, a Deneb without an L3 cache but still with 512 KB of L2 per core. They will be sold under the name Athlon X4 600 and have clock speeds of up to 2.7 GHz. A 3 core model is also planned, codename Rana and sold under the name Athlon X3 400. Frequencies could reach 2.8 GHz.
Lastly, AMD plans to launch the Athlon X2 200 in June. Based on the 45 nm Regor core and with K10 architecture, this is a dual core CPU with a cache of 2 MB, presumably 1 MB of L2 for each core. It will clock at over 2.8 GHz. On the 65 nms, note the Athlon X2 7750, 7550 and 7450, available this quarter, dual core versions of the current Phenom (see
this news).
