AMD triple phenomenon core processors entry

For those responsible for introducing the system tri-core AMD this week

Workplans AMD indicate Dell and Hewlett-Packard will present low-end computers based on the triple-core AMD phenomenal this week.

Dell OptiPlex computers, aimed at the sub-$ 600 market, will be the first to receive the new treatment triple nucleus. HP Pavilion desktop will shortly thereafter in the sub-$ 600 and sub-$ 500 segments. True to the botched announcement earlier this month, Dell will not introduce any new AMD in its Inspiron computers.

The new system will replace the Pavilion and OptiPlex PCs using the AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processors. AMD was to suspend most of its Athlon X2 line, but delays to its four core architecture phenomenal continue to stretch the life of your K8 architecture.

The new triple-core processors, codenamed Toliman, will debut with frequencies as high as 2.3 GHz. Toliman processors have the same capabilities of the high-end processors Agena with the exception of a processor core disabled. This includes 2 MB L3 cache shared and unshared per core 512KB of L2 cache.

In addition to strengthening the B2-Toliman processors, AMD will introduce a more B2 Opteron this month: an efficient energy Barcelona four processor cores. The latter two are the B2 AMD processors in the arsenal - officially, the company will submit its processors B3-strengthening late next month.

AMD did not comment on when or if the tri-core processors would make a splash in the retail channel.

B3 processors are unaffected by the error TLB by AMD announced late last year. Although the error is very difficult to repeat, with the mandate of AMD may hinder the solution B2 phenomenal and Opteron performance dramatically.
