AMD is updating its CPU offering with new triple-core Phenoms designed for high-performance. The new CPUs will not be able to compete with Intel's newly released high-end processors.
AMD plans to release its biggest-performance triple-core Phenom yet, with the introduction of the Phenom X3 8850 model. The new CPU will be manufactured on a 65nm process technology, as AMD is yet to unveil its very first 45nm-built Phenom CPU. The upcoming processor will be designed to support AM2+ platforms, and will come with a 2.5GHz core speed. Other technical details include a TDP level of 95W and 2MB of L3 cache.
The Phenom X3 8850 will become the first triple-core Phenom processor to be part of the company's Black Edition series. The X3 8850 will obviously have an unlocked multiplier, which means it stands great chances of soon becoming a favorite product with overclocking enthusiasts. Unfortunately, there is no word yet on pricing for it.
