Down but not out, AMD may be gearing up to turn its fortunes around in early 2009. The optimism comes courtesy of Chinese-language website HKEPC, which claims to have the skinny on 10 new AMD processors expected to be released during the next three quarters. And where is HKEPC getting their information? Un-named motherboard makers, of course.
Deneb
According to the report, AMD will begin production of two versions of what it has code named Deneb later this year. One version of Deneb boasting clockspeeds between 2.6GHz to 3.0GHz will have a thermal envelop of 125W, while another version, clocked between 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz, will come rated at 95W. The latter is expected in Q1 2009.
Propus
AMD's Propus processors will have smaller amounts of cache than their Debeb brethren, and those carrying the EE designation will consume just 45W. HKEPC says to AMD will start producing Propus parts in the Q1 and Q2 of 2009.

I hope these chips have more on die cache and a more stream lined and ellegant instruction set. That's the only way they are going to compete with Intel. These quads with 1meg of cache just is'nt going to do it. That's like trying to make a hard drive with 2megs of cache compete with a Samsung F1 with 32megs of cache. Just aint going to happen.

AND HOPEFULLY NO TRICORE PROCESSORS. THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GAY.
