 AMD has announced the addition of AMD
Phenom triple-core processors to its desktop roadmap. AMD Phenom triplecore
processors, expected to be the world’s first PC processors to integrate
three computational cores on a single die of silicon, can help deliver the
visual experience, performance and multitasking capabilities of true multicore
technology to a broader audience.
Offering state-of-the-art platforms
and a next-generation architecture with expected availability in Q1 2008, the
industry’s only triple-core desktop processor shows why AMD’s the smarter
choice, with its expanded portfolio for customers to offer platforms with
unique multi-core options. AMD Phenom quad-core processors remain on
schedule to ship in 2007.
AMD Phenom processors with three cores are a response to demand
for increased performance delivered by multi-core processors when running
state-of-the-art applications.

The true multi-core design of the upcoming AMD Phenom processor
family of products, based on Direct Connect Architecture, features an
integrated memory controller, accelerating performance for productivity,
content creation, entertainment, and gaming. In addition, this nextgeneration
architecture includes AMD’s Balanced Smart Cache for rapid
access to memory, with a shared L3 cache for leading-edge performance on
multi-threaded software.
With HyperTransport 3.0 and up to 16 GB/second
of high bandwidth I/O, upcoming AMD Phenom processors are designed for
the ultimate visual experience with amazing HD video and gaming
resolutions, as well as high-speed disk and network interfaces. In addition,
Cool‘n’Quiet 2.0 technology enables independent frequency adjustments to
each processor core, and the HyperTransport bus and memory controller for
a cooler and quieter PC.
AMD Phenom triple-core processors are expected to deliver increased
performance for multitasking usage models and multi-threaded applications,
aligned with similar benefits available with the upcoming AMD Phenom quadcore
processors. In addition, triple-core processors from AMD can provide
significant performance advantages over similar dual-core AMD processors in
key industry standard benchmarks, including SYSmark 2007 and 3DMark
2006, as well as similar quad-core AMD processors in certain gaming and
digital content creation scenarios.
