Last time we heard AMD talking about its dual-core Phenom, codenamed Kuma, we heard that this CPU should be out in the May timeframe. The worst case scenario was to see this CPU in late Q2 and June is pretty much the last chance to meet this timeframe.

Kuma is still 65nm, it has 2MB of L3 cache and 2x512KB of L2 cache, and it does support HT3. The new dual-core CPU fits in existing eco-systems, as it uses socket AM2+ and we've also learned that there won't be any high clocks close to 3GHz for Kuma parts.

AMD will position this CPU as an energy efficient CPU, but we still don’t know what should happen then.
