AMD Phenom FX-80 and FX-90 Added to Roadmap

Its been revealed in a new AMD roadmap that FX-80 and FX-90 Phenom processors are on the way. FX-80 is expected to launch in late Q4, while FX-90 will be released in early 2008. The differences between FX-80 and FX-90 are simple… the latter is technically FX-80 except designed for a multi-processor system. Clock speeds will range between 2.2GHz – 2.6GHz, sitting on top of an HT3 bus of 3.0GHz+, depending on the processor. Things are looking good, but it’s going to be a tough wait to see how these perform.

AMD plans one Phenom FX processor for Socket AM2+ platforms. The AMD Phenom FX-80 is essentially the FX-90 for single-processor systems. The Phenom FX-80 will clock in between 2.2-to-2.4 GHz and have a HT3 bus speed in excess of 3.2 GHz. All Phenom FX processors share similar feature sets, with 512KB of L2 cache per core and a shared 2MB L3 cache. The TDP of Phenom FX processors are still to be determined.
