The new model will be available soon, and with the arrival of the AMD Athlon X3 450, several members of the series will be renewed.
The supply of tri-core processors will continue to expand over the next quarter. Based on the naming scheme, it is easy to guess that the Athlon II X3 450 will get to the top of the current palette thanks to its higher clock speed. The specifications therefore do not promise a more serious surprise. The only novelty is the increase in operating frequency, which is now 3,2 GHz. The 512 KB per core cache and AM3 encapsulation with DDR3 1333 support remained unchanged. No pricing information has been received yet.
The line of news is not over at this point. The production of several popular types is modified to C3 stepping. The benefits of the change are better tuning potential and somewhat lower consumption, so customers can only win with the thing.
The following processors are affected:
- AMD Athlon II X2 245
- AMD Athlon II X2 250
- AMD Athlon II X2 255
- AMD Athlon II X3 405e
- AMD Athlon II X3 435
- AMD Athlon II X3 440
It is also worth noting that the Athlon II X3 425 will cease to be marketed in parallel.
This time, the thinner wallets and their owners will be targeted
