Processor 721 Published by

There are more and more signals on the web that AMD is prepping to release yet another faster clocked Phenom II X4 processor. This one would get a clock frequency of 3.70 GHz  (18.5 x 200 MHz) while staying within the 125W TDP power delta.

Based on the 45 nm "Deneb" silicon, the X4 980 BE features four x86-64 cores with 512 KB dedicated L2 cache each, and a 6 MB shared cache. Compatible with AM3 and AM2+ sockets, the chip packs a dual-channel memory controller that supports DDR3-1333 MHz or DDR2-1066 MHz memory standards.

IF it happens it will likely be soon as their next-generation processors are scheduled for June already.
