955 goes 95W
It appears that AMD has managed to address an issue which has plagued the otherwise excellent Phenom II series since launch, power consumption. The company is apparently planning to introduce a new version of the Phenom II X4 955, designated HDX955WFK4DGM and rated at 95W. The company currently offer three 955 SKUs and all three have a 125W TDP rating.
In addition to the polar bear friendly 955, AMD will also launch two new 800 series Phenoms, but we already mentioned them a while back. The 805 and 820 are clocked at 2.5GHz and 2.8GHz respectively and both will feature a 95W TDP.
Two new triple cores are also on the way. The Phenom II X3 740 is clocked at 3.0GHz and has a 95W TDP. The cheap and cheerful 715 ends up at 2.8GHz, but with a 3600MHz HT.
We're still not sure about the launch dates, but we will try to find out more about these and other upcoming AMD parts, so stay tuned.
