AMD To Ship Phenom X3 Triple Core

I'll be attending an AMD webcast this morning giving details of the chipmaker's new desktop roadmap coming up this week. The information is under embargo until Thursday morning midnight (Eastern time/NYC), so make sure to check back in here then for all the details and the video of the launch. Last week, Digitimes had the following information on upcoming AMD desktop chips from sources at Taiwanese motherboard makers:
"AMD is planning to launch B3 stepping quad-core Phenom 9050 series CPUs including 9850, 9750, 9650, 9550 and 9150 within the next 1-2 weeks, however the top-end 9850 will only reach a core frequency of 2.5GHz, instead of the original goal of 2.6Ghz [....] AMD will later launch triple-core Phenom 8750, 8650 and 8450 CPUs with power consumption of 65W in late April. Prior to that, the company will launch the Athlon 64 X2 5800+ to fill the gap in the mainstream market, noted the sources".

Earlier this month I sat down with Leslie Sobon, AMD director for desktop CPUs, where she confirmed that the Phenom X3 (triple core) will be shipping at the end of this month (March). She also mentioned some additional Phenom CPUs coming up, in addition to the current 9500, 9600 and Black Edition for gamers with overclocking ability and a power efficient desktop chip.

@argent2020 Intel i7 980X FTW!

The only solution for AMD to stay in business would be to gamble & offer Intel the following buy out deal: "For every dollar you invested, we give you one hundred dollars".

For Intel that deal would be irresistible. Once the purchased it's been made, kill AMD & stick to Intel.

AMD sucks!!!.

the Triple core is just a downgraded quad core, as AMD seriously fucked up the Phenom 9500 and 9600 chips.... and because of that and not helping there loyal buyers, AMD... you can go and FUCK YOURSELF you bunch of WANKERS!

God, I want to ask her a question, is she good at explaining how phenom is good as how she is good at giving a blow job?

when processor companies don't cater to green computing crowds and focus on gamers only, they get hated by larger portions, and thats bad for buisness. cpu companies should have a generous green desktop cpu 30W TDP line up, and a performance line up, excluding the green computing crowds is a very very bad idea...
