November 6th, 2008 Posted in CPUs

While the 45nm Shanghai quad core Opteron (Opteron 83xx series and Opteron 23xx series) has just made its debut at resellers, AMD is planning to launch six high end 45nm quad core CPUs (codename Deneb) and four entry-level (codename Propus) in the first quarter of next year. The Phenom X4 20550 and 20350 for socket AM2+ systems with core frequencies of 3GHz and 2.8GHz will be launche this month. AMD will also launch six 45nm triple core CPUs (codename Heka and Regor) including 14x00, 12x00 and 1xx00e series. These triple core CPUs will start shipping in the first quarter of the next year. To prevent impact on its mainstream dual core Athlon X2 CPUs sales, AMD has decided to ship its 45nm AM3 based dual core CPU (codename Regor) in the third quarter of the next year. The company has planned three 65W CPUs model numbered 10x00 for this last category.
