AMD 'Stars' Models Unveiled

DailyTech has a graph posted today that shows all the different AMD Phenom processor model names, speeds, cores, availability and so on. Phenom FX chips will be clocked between 2.2GHz and 2.6GHz and will fit into the same 1207-pin F sockets as existing Athlon 64 FX-70-series chips, although AMD will reportedly also introduce a Socket AM2 Phenom FX clocked at 2.2-2.4GHz.

As for the Phenom X4s, there will be two of those chips clocked at 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz and with 89W power envelopes. In the fourth quarter of this year, DailyTech says AMD will introduce dual-core Phenom X2 processors clocked at 2.4GHz, 2.6GHz, and 2.8GHz. Much like Phenom FX and Phenom X4 chips, the Phenom X2s will have 512KB of L2 cache per core and 2MB of shared L3 cache per chip. Finally, in the first quarter of next year, AMD will reportedly launch low-power Phenom X2 processors clocked at 1.9-2.3GHz as well as budget Athlon 64 X2 and Sempron processors clocked at 2.2-2.4GHz. Those budget chips will be based on AMD's new architecture, but they will have the same number of cores as their existing namesakes, and they will lack any shared L3 cache.
