AMD debuts Athlon II X2 250 and Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition CPUs
Posted in: AMD, dual-core, DualCore, Today's Chili
If you’re AMD, you’ve got to be feeling pretty good right now. Intel’s busy handling a lawsuit bigger than the left half of Russia, you’re finally free of that dreaded manufacturing business and you’ve got a new pair of mainstream CPUs debuting at Computex. The first of the two is the dual-core 45nm Athlon II X2 250, which features a TDP of 65-watts and can whittle power consumption down to 50 percent when handling just “basic tasks.” Then there’s the first-ever dual-core AMD Phenom II, the X2 550 Black Edition. Built from the ground-up for its ‘Dragon’ platform, this here chip also supports OverDrive 3.0 and should provide some higher-end features on a budget. Unfortunately, details beyond that are inexplicably scant, but we’ll be sure to pass on whatever surfaces at the show. Full release is after the break.
