Set to launch in Q4
If AMD didn't change its mind, Athlon II X2 260U, the first 25W TDP dual-core was supposed to launch in Q4. Since we are currently in Q4 2009, this has yet to happen or the CPU might be waiting for some big OEM to announce systems based on it.
Athlon II X2 will the AMD's first 25W dual core Regor 45nm based CPU and some new and faster might follow after the middle of 2010, based on a new Regor dual-core revision.
The Athlon II X2 260U will work at 1.8GHz and will have 2MB of total cache. Like other Regors, it fits Socket AM3 and supports DDR3 1066.
This CPU is set to replace the 1.8GHz clocked Athlon X2 6850e based on Brisbane 65nm dual-core that had an impressive 22W TDP but the new core, even if it runs at the same clock, should give you a good performance boost.
