AMD has plans to release two new quad-core processor Propus, who initially will not cache L3. This is the core of power in 95Vt in the second quarter of 2010 for the first time reached the frequency of 3.0GHz.

Currently Athlon II X4 635 is the fastest of all processors Propus, this model is clocked at 2.9GGts and processor Athlon II X4 640, the appearance of which will be held early in the second quarter of 2010, with a frequency of 3.0GHz would overtake him. Other key features of the new, faster CPU AMD Propus are the same as that of its predecessor, which means it will have 2MB of shared cache will not have L3 cache and will support DDR3 1333. The processor will be used on motherboards with socket AM3.

Approximately a quarter later, in the middle of the third quarter of 2010, AMD plans to release another quad-core processor Propus, which will be called Athlon II X4 645. This model will operate at a frequency 3.1GGts and become the fastest processor Propus 2010.

AMD is stuck at 45nm process technology, while its competitor Intel, to her happiness, are already actively selling 32nm dual core, AMD overtook the whole year.
