AMD has updated its CPU lineup with no less that six new Athlon II processors, all made in the same 45nm manufacturing process. The new CPU list includes two dual-cores, Athlon II X2 245e and X2 260, two tri-cores, Athlon II X3 415e and X3 445 and two quite cheap quad-core CPUs, the X4 610e and X4 640.

The new line starts with Athlon X2 260 priced at US $76 and the X2 245e priced at US $77. The X2 260 works at 3.2GHz, has 2MB of L2 cache and a maximum TDP of 65W. The X2 245e ticks at 2.9GHz, has the same 2MB of L2 cache and a lower TDP of 45W.

The Tri-core brethren are the X3 415e, clocked at 2.5GHz, 1.5MB of L2 cache and a 45W TDP, and the X3 445 clocked at 3.1GHz and a 95W TDP. The X3 416e has a US $102 while the X3 445 is a bit cheaper with the US $87 price tag.

The most interesting of the lot are certainly the new quad-cores as the X4 610e carries a US $145 price tag and the X4 640 comes priced at US $122. The X4 610e boasts a 45W TDP and a 2.4GHz clock, while the X4 640 ticks at 3.0GHz but has a 95W TDP. Both of these have 2MB of L2 cache.
