AMD revealed new naming scheme for its Phenom II processor family. It includes Phenom II X4 900, Phenom II X4 800 (Deneb), Phenom II X4 600 (Propus), Phenom II X3 700 (Heka), Phenom II X3 600 (Rana) and Phenom II X2 200 (Regor) CPUs. Deneb is a 45nm quad-core desktop version of Shanghai. Both of them are based on K10.5 architecture. The CPU will start out at 2.6GHz and go up from there. It features 4x 512KB of L2 cache and 6MB of shared L3 cache. Also rumored is the TDP and for that the we are seeing specs of 125W and 95W floating around.
AMD plans to introduce 8 Deneb processors in Q1 2009:
Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - 3.0GHz
Phenom II X4 920 - 2.8GHz
Phenom II X4 925 - 2.8GHz
Phenom II X4 910 - 2.6GHz
Phenom II X4 810 - 2.6GHz
Phenom II X4 805 - 2.5GHz
Phenom II X3 720 - 2.8GHz
Phenom II X3 710 - 2.6GHz
The first two support socket AM2+, while the others are aimed at AM3 and DDR3. In Q2, two more processors will become available:
Phenom II X3 600
Phenom II X2 200

From what I heard, the AM3 CPUs are coming out a month after the first two CPUs. This leaves me asking, why not just make them all AM3?

I do believe that they were having issues with the DDR3 memory controllers on the first batches? Therefore releasing AM2+ processors to buy enough time to get DDR3 working correctly.FeRaL wrote:From what I heard, the AM3 CPUs are coming out a month after the first two CPUs.

that is a very good question, as AM3 chips work fine in AM2+ boards(and with DDR2 RAM) it doesn't really make any sense at a general consumer's point of viewFeRaL wrote:From what I heard, the AM3 CPUs are coming out a month after the first two CPUs.

they may be hiding some issues as GI-JOE points out.

Yeah, it's just kind of lame that they put out there black edition using the ddr2 instead of ddr3.skierkid450 wrote:that is a very good question, as AM3 chips work fine in AM2+ boards(and with DDR2 RAM) it doesn't really make any sense at a general consumer's point of viewFeRaL wrote:From what I heard, the AM3 CPUs are coming out a month after the first two CPUs.

Also, I think I hear, but could be wrong that the AM3s will support ddr2 and ddr3.

Wow, back up to 3GHz. Maybe they'll catch up to Core 2 with that.
