Coming just as Q3 kicks off the Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition, X4 9350e and 9150e are ready to pretty much close the circle of AMD's quad-core 65nm desktop offer and let the company prepare the 45nm Deneb and Propus processors. Topping out at 2.6 GHz, the Phenom X4 9950 BE is the highest-clocked AMD quad-core and it features an unlocked multiplier, 2MB of L2 cache, 2MB of shared L3 cache and a not so attractive TDP of 140W.
Those who want something 'cooler,' literally, AMD is releasing the energy-efficient Phenon X4 9350e and 9150e CPUs, both bragging with a 65W TDP and clocked at 2.0 and 1.8 GHz respectively. All three Agena processors are AM2+ and AM2 compatible but please note that the 9950 BE will not be supported but many new or old motherboards. Asus and MSI have already released lists with the boards that can handle the 140W CPU.
Price wise, the Phenom 9950 BE will take the 9850's place at $235 while the latter goes down to $205 with the X4 9350e and 9150e being set to debut at $195 and $175 respectively. For more info about the performance of AMD's new processors check out HotHardware's article.source:tcmagazine
