AMD launched a new revision of its die Deneb, the C3 version which offers some improvements. The most notable is probably the maturity process of engraving with 45 nanometer SOI, which can have a high incidence with consumption more correct. We note in passing that it's been almost a year that AMD processors offer 45nm, the first having had the privilege of being 64 Opteron "Shanghai" issued November 13, 2008.

The new Phenom X4 II 965 Black Edition C3 comes ashore in Japan, and surprise, he is not alone. We also discovered a X4 945, clocked at 3 GHz. The price of this CPU is $ 30 less than its big brother on the listings AMD. In France, the difference is about twenty euros. No information on the TDP of the beast, which was 95 watts on the current model. However, we can expect a decline in consumption similar to that observed in the BE 965. One can logically assume that the new die will be progressively available over the entire range of Texas. We must therefore verify the CA's CPU if you buy in shops, and pray to fall on a new model if the purchase is made online...
