Three more AMD Tri-Core's
William Henning - Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 | 12:03PM (PT)


More X3's from AMD

The three new processors are:

  • $145 AMD Phenom X3 8450 @ 2.1GHz
  • $165 AMD Phenom X3 8650 @ 2.3GHz
  • $195 AMD Phenom X3 8750 @ 2.4GHz

(the above numbering scheme leaves an obvious hole for an 8550 @ 2.2GHz)

All of the Tri-Core processors feature:

  • 64KB L1 code cache for each core
  • 64KB L1 data cache for each core
  • 512KB L2 code/data cache for each core
  • 2MB L3 code/data cache shared by the three cores
  • approx. 450M transistors
  • 285mm2 die size

The Phenom processors are built using a 65nm silicon on insulator process and feature a dual channel memory controller, and support DDR2 memory up to PC2-8500.

The Hypertransport channels can be run at up to 1.8GT/sec in socket AM2, and up to 3.6GT/sec in a future socket AM3.
