The freshest data about intel 45 nm processor (penryn generation) characteristics allow us to indicate that in comparison with predecessors they are weakly advanced in the clock frequencies, without having the lowered TDP level . AMD Company already presented the new energy processors characteristic - ACP.
As reports associate in the fourth quarter this year AMD will present single core processors athlon 64 socket AM2 for built in technology application and telecommunication devices. They will be released on 65 nm technology and they will be equipped with 512 KB cache in the second level, the built-in memory controller will support DDR 2-667 in dual-channel regime. The characteristics of those processor are :
- Athlon 64 3100+ (2.0 GHz) - > supply core voltage 1.2 v, TDP not more than 25 W;
- Athlon 64 2600+ (1.6 GHz) - > supply core voltage 1.05 v, TDP level not more than 15 W;
- Athlon 64 2000+ (1.0 GHz) - > supply core voltage 0.85 v, TDP level not more than 8 W.
Thus, K8 architecture continues its development. It is assumed that AMD in this case will be able due to lower price to distract the attention of buyers from intel production .
