Fleets of New AMD Processors Closing in
After launching its 45 nm desktop CPU with its high-end CPUs such as Phenom II X4 940 and 955 Black Edition, AMD is preparing two distinct lines of mainstream and value processors: the energy-efficient line denoted by an “e” next to the model number, and the standard variant. Close to a decade into using the “Athlon” CPU brand name, the company finally chose to place a “II” next to it to denote a generation bump.
