AMD Starts Shipping Triple-Core Phenom Processors

Submitted by: KnightMare @ 09:53 AM | Thursday, March 13, 2008 | (url: http://www.pcworl...)

Advanced Micro Devices today said it has started shipping triple-core Phenom processors, bringing desktops with the chip closer to release.

The triple-core processors are shipping in volume to PC makers only right now, AMD officials said. It declined further comment on chip availability and specifications.

Many major vendors, including Dell and Hewlett-Packard, have hinted at including the Phenom triple-core processors in desktops.

Dell has listed plans to use the chip in its OptiPlex 740 business desktop systems, with 1.5M bytes of L2 cache and 2M bytes of shared L3 cache, in an online brochure. Dell will ship the triple-core OptiPlex in the second quarter, a company spokeswoman said, declining further comment.

I heard the Phenom wasn't all that phenominal.
