The representatives of AMD low-end dual cores with K8L architecture will be released under the code name rana and had to fill the niche between the 45- watt versions brisbane, which for the first time had the trade mark Athlon X2, and single cores processors athlon 64, which over the long term will be removed . In a word, rana processors without cache in the third level will be a sufficiently attractive overclock material , if their frequency potential will not be limited by some factor .
To us about all characteristics of rana processors are known (already published in previous news) , and only in the first block 2008 they will be announced. . Today we have a refreshed data already mentioned by us in the characteristics of the first models phenom X4 and phenom X2, and the characteristics of the first model on rana core :
- Athlon X2 LS-2350 - > Socket AM2+, two core, 2 X 512 KB cache in the second level, frequency 2.0-2.2 GHz, system bus frequency HT 3.2 GHz, TDP not are more than 65 W.
This processor will appear in the second quarter 2008. For AMD , there is no sense to hurry with the new generation budget processors : company must sell off before the reserves of old processors. It would be desirable to believe that rana processors will possess a good relationship of price and speed, and their overclocking potential will allow to obtain a certain overclock completely free of charge.
