3.0GHz and 3.1GHz
Phenom II X2 550 will be the 3.1GHz dual core Phenom II. This
is a harvested version of Deneb quad-core, that will have two cores disabled
and we've learned that it should launch in June, and Computex might be a good
time.
This dual-core can achieve very high performance as it will
have 7MB of total cache or 2x512KB L2 and massive 6MB of L3 and this one should
give Intel’s Core 2 series a big headache especially with its price / performance
ratio.
Phenom II X2 550 clocked at 3.1GHz and Phenom II X2 545
clocked at 3.0GHz have the same TDP of 80W. With AMD’s current pricing, we
would not be surprised to see these CPUs priced around the €100 mark.
