AMD Processor Roadmap Leaked Online: Quad-Core 'Deneb' Phenoms in January
Posted by Kit Eaton at 12:45 AM on September 5, 2008
AMD's immediate processor plans have been leaked in the form of a PowerPoint slide to Spanish site CHW.net. Dual-core "Brisbane" Athlons at 2.6GHz are due in October, alongside "Toliman" triple-core Phenoms. November sees the single-core "Lima" Athlon chip, obviously destined for low-power devices, since it runs at 1.6GHz and draws just 15W. Most interesting to processor fanatics will be the 45nm Phenoms slated for a January 8th launch. Both are quad-core "Deneb" chips, one running at 2.8GHz, one running at 3GHz and both drawing a chunky 125W of power. The "ultra-value client" devices scheduled for November are also intriguing: AMD's answer to Intel's Atom perhaps? [CHW.net via Reghardware]

Might be time to upgrade soon. My AMD 64 3000+ Venice is having troubles keeping up with watching Frasier on yahoo video...

@15sunrises: I've got the same processor too. I bought a little extra life buy getting a new vid card but I think that my 3000+ will be regulated to the e-mail computer category pretty soon here.

If 45 nm Deneb hard launches in January then it might not be too late for AMD.
Superior memory transport ftw.

Just get me some freakin Nano mobos out there, I need a new low power system and I've been holding off for a Nano, but at this rate I may get something else.

Their current stuff is so so so cheap though...
If my mobo wasn't LGA775 I would seriously consider buying one of these if the price was right..
Oh well

My FX-60 is holding strong. I hope AMD comes back, it would be a shame to see Intel hold a monopoly.
