Unluckily, until all the details are indefinite, but the network was reported that AMD has plans to release next year, two six-core desktop processor. Tentatively, this should happen in the second quarter of 2010, and, if this is true, then the new AMD processors will hit the market somewhat later than the processors Intel Core i7 980X.

Six-core AMD processors will be made on 45nm process technology, their code name is Thuban. These processors will have a 6Mb cache L3, increase productivity with a certain "state of C" (probably analog technology Intel Turbo Boost), in addition, they will support memory up to DDR3 with a frequency of 1333MHz. Channel once again confirms the earlier information that these processors will be supported by motherboards with socket AM3, that is, they can run on most existing models of circuit boards, of course, after upgrading the BIOS.

What is the difference be between these two new processors, is still unknown. Not reported as the range of their nominal frequencies.
