AMD today extended its Phenom II line-up with five new processors, including the industry's only 45nm triple-core CPUs and three new AMD Phenom II quad-core processors. Part of the fire breathing AMD Dragon platform, these new Phenom II chips fit in either AM2+ or AM3 sockets and support DDR2 or next generation DDR3 memory. The new triple-core and quad-core AMD Phenom II processors are available immediately with the following model numbers:
  • AMD Phenom II X4 910 2.6GHz, 6MB of L3 cache
  • AMD Phenom II X4 810 2.6GHz, 4MB of L3 cache - $175
  • AMD Phenom II X4 805 2.5GHz, 4MB of L3 cache
  • AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition 2.8GHz, 6MB of L3 cache - $145
  • AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6GHz, 6MB of L3 cache - $125
All five Phenom II chips have the same 95W TDP.

anywhich way you go for CPUs, your getting a pretty good product nowadays, despite the US economy being dismal.

These cpus are available @ Frys store. The 720BE is $144. It was tempting, but going to hold for a while to see if it will drop in price.

I am curious as to why AMD sells X3 processors and Intel does not. Is it because AMD processors are true four-core processors and Intel's are not? I know that they are X3 because they turn off one of the cores.

Thanks

The X3's are priced to compete with the Intel Core 2 Duo line and are priced VERY competitively. The Phenom II X3 720 should beat a E8400, if not the PII 810/910.
