That is right, in 8 days AMD will release their new lineup of processors, and these include: Phenom II X4 955, Phenom II X4 945, Phenom II X4 925 and the Athlon X2 7850. The new Phenom II X4 955 will be AMD’s flagship CPU, and will come at 3.2GHz with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 125W, while the Athlon X2 7850 will be AMD’s latest and last dual-core processor using the 65nm fabrication process which will be mostly for gamers on a budget.

More phenom 2 processors are to be released till the end of the year.
All the upcoming processors will be built on the AM3 package, making them compatible with DDR3 and DDR2 memory standards. With the Phenom II X4 950 being clocked at 3.10 GHz, succeeding SKUs take 100 MHz steps, starting from a Phenom II X4 960 at 3.20 GHz to a Phenom II X4 990 at 3.50 GHz. Despite the high clock speeds, the chips will continue to maintain rated TDPs of 125W. At some point within the succession, AMD will crank up the HyperTransport interconnect speed from 1,800 MHz to 2,000 MHz. The launch-schedule for these processors will be spread throughout 2009.
The models in the new series consist of:
Phenom II X4 950 (3.10 GHz, 15.5 x 200)
Phenom II X4 960 (3.20 GHz, 16 x 200)
Phenom II X4 970 (3.30 GHz, 16.5 x 200)
Phenom II X4 980 (3.40 GHz, 17 x 200)
Phenom II X4 990 (3.50 GHz, 17.5 x 200)
