AMD Releases New Phenom II and Athlon II CPUs
AMD has just added nine new CPUs to its desktop processor lineup, including the Phenom II X6 1075T and the quad-core Phenom II X4 970 BE models.
Here are the new CPUs:
It seems that the new Phenom II X6 1075T bridges the gap between the $200 1055T and the $300 1090T. Intel doesn't really have anything competing at that price point.
AMD's Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition is based on the Deneb core, meaning it's a native quad-core chip.
