Along with the release of 45-nanometer Opteron, AMD also confirmed that they also prepared for the AMD Phenom II X4, As indicated by the name, the Phenom II X4 is a quad-core processors that will be part of AMD Dragon, the next challenger of Intel’s Montevina platform.
AMD Dragon will carry many improvements that have been added to the latest Opteron, among which we can find some developments in processors: mainly, the greater frequency of the nuclei, the higher and lower power consumption. This means better performance per watt ratio for the new generation of Phenom II.
Still do not know too many details nor on the AMD Phenom II or AMD Dragon platform, even though the manufacturer might develop a system similar to that used Intel-based platform that implements both the processor itself as a graphics chip based on the ATi Radeon HD 4000 Series, and even wireless devices.
The AMD Phenom X4 II is scheduled to hit the market in the first quarter of 2009.
