AMD triple-core CPU codenames and features revealed
Codenames and features of the tri-core CPUs AMD is planning to launch next year and in 2009 have been revealed by sources at motherboard makers. Toliman adopts a 65nm process, supports socket AM2+ motherboards, and supports HyperTransport 3.0. The CPUs will have 2MB L3 cache and will be launched by the end of March 2008, according to the sources. This really isn’t news as we showed some of this information on roadmaps weeks ago in our triple-core article. What everyone wants to know is the final clock frequencies!
The next-generation, 45nm-based CPUs will adopt socket AM3, support HyperTransport 3.0 and DDR2/DDR3 memory, and will launch in first half of 2009, noted the sources. The motherboard makers pointed out that whether AMD’s tri-core CPUs are successful in the market will depend on their price/performance ratio compared quad-core and dual-core CPUs.
