From the five presented today processors only three models are intended to retail buyer: one four core and two three core processor. Note the Phenom II X4 810 is equipped with 4 MB cache in the third level instead of the maximum six.
The fastest processors socket AM3 will appear later, and now AMD simply waits, until socket AM3 motherboard appears in the market , which possess a sufficient stability . Socket AM3 processors already had time to be prescribed in the official AMD Price- list :
From their predecessors they differ in terms of DDR3 memory support, and also in terms of the faster hyperTransport 3.0, which operates at 4000 MHz frequency. The TDP value all three processors do not exceed 95 W. The fundamental characteristics of processors and marking are given below:
It is possible to note that socket AM3 processors have a lower voltage limit - 1.425 v instead of 1.5 v in phenom II X4 processors Socket AM2+. Temperature limit is also lower, it is equal to 71 or 73 degree Celsius against 62 degrees Celsius in socket AM2+ processors . However, last difference can be dictated by the higher frequencies of phenom II X4 920 and Phenom II X4 940 Black edition processors. All sockets AM3 processors are based on the existing C2 stepping .
