AMD Prepping 12 New Athlon II C3 Revisions

jmke · 19th February 2010, 14:18

59hardware have just made an interesting discovery via the Gigabyte site. Gigabyte gives a list of its compatible motherboards and this includes a whole series of C3 stepping Athlon IIs which aren’t currently listed on AMD’s site. Twelve Athlon IIs look as if they should soon move up to the C3 stepping: these are the Athlon II X4 640/635/630/605e, Athlon II X3 445/440/435/415e/405e and Athlon II X2 255/250/245.

The new models recently announced are also at the C3 stepping, which means that eventually almost the whole AMD range is set to be at this revision. This doesn’t mean AMD is about to overturn Intel’s advantage but should make the AMD range more attractive in terms of limiting energy consumption of the processors at the new stepping.
