3GHz Athlon 250e, 2.9GHz 245e
AMD will soon roll out a couple of new energy efficient
dual-core Athlon II X2 processors. The company currently offers two
Regor-based parts with a 45W TDP, the 2.8GHz 240e and the 2.7GHz 235e.
The new 250e is clocked at 3GHz, while the 245e runs at 2.9GHz, which
sounds nice considering the low TDP. Mind you, it is possible that the
CPUs are based on the new C3 stepping, but at press time we are unable
to confirm this.
In addition to the Athlons, AMD will also introduce two new single-core
Semprons based on the Sargas core. We mentioned these 45W parts a while
back. The Sempron 145 is clocked at 2.7GHz and it will be accompanied
by the Sempron 180, but we still don't know its exact clock.
