One of them


AMD plans to launch two Regor-based 45nm dual core 25W CPUs and originally it planned to launch two CPUs clocked at 1.8GHz and 1.6GHz together. This won't happen as the 1.8GHz one, branded as Athlon II X2 620u is pushed to late Q1 2010.


The Athlon II X2 520u clocked at 1.6GHz and equipped with total of 2MB cache is still scheduled to launch in Q4 but as of today, we failed to find any single one available.

These TDPs definitely look attractive and can enable AMD to get back into the silent computing space. Performance wise it will definitely beat Atoms and if priced wisely, it might be a good sell.
