AMD released a couple of details about the hardware it plans to release in early 2010.
Of course on Intels Core i5 600 series launch date AMD talks about a 555 Black Edition CPU. AMD states that this will be the company's "fastest-ever dual-core CPU," and if the company's naming history continues to be a guide, it will be unlocked and ready for overclocking.
The Athlon II family will see three new processors: the quad-core 635, the triple-core 440, and the dual-core 255.
Also planned are further entries in the 5000-series line of DirectX 11
