AMD Updates CPU Launch Schedule – Phenom 9850 Due In a Few Weeks

According to industry-tracking web site DigiTimes, AMD have revised their roadmap to include a few new models, all of which should launch in the coming weeks. The Phenom 9050 models will include the 9850, 9750, 9650, 9550 and the 9150. Although the 9850 was initially due to launch with a 2.6GHz clock speed, difficulties have kept it from hitting that goal, so it will be released at 2.5GHz instead.

Triple-core 8×50 Phenom’s will be launched in late April and include a TDP of 65W, and we should also be seeing dual-core Athlon 64-branded X2 Black Edition 5600+ and 4600+’s by the end of this month. For those awaiting high-end Phenom Quad-Cores, the company is still on track to launch those sometime in the third quarter.

For the dual-core CPU market, AMD will launch the Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Black Edition and 4600+ by the end of March and will follow with Phenom-based Athlon 6250 and 6050 CPUs by the end of the second quarter. The company has also informed customers that final orders for Athlon 64 X2 6400+, 6000+ and 5600+ (89W versions) will be taken at the end of March, the sources added.
