AMD plans to announce a new high-end desktop platform (Leo) and mainstream platform (Dorado) in May of 2010, according to sources at motherboard makers.

Leo will consist of a 45nm Phenom II series or upcoming six-core Thuban CPU with either 890FX or 890GX (RD890) northbridge and SB850 southbridge chipsets and an ATI Radeon HD 5000 series graphics card, the sources noted.

Dorado will comprise an Athlon II CPU, 880G (RS880P) northbridge and SB810 southbridge and HD 5000 series GPU.

AMD said it cannot comment on unannounced products.

AMD readies 2 desktop platforms for May 2010

looks like this will be the first DX11 IGP.

Good news but most of 780G motherboard are still above 3.5K

AMD needs solid AM3 entry level board chipset like G31 for Intel
 
Amd is lifesaver for Common people.

M sure they'll come out with something better and affordable.

But this will only be successful if 6 core PhenomII r @ or below 15k

Or else 6 core will be of no use as there won't be any applications for it, leaving games which are not built for Multi(Quad or tri) core but Optimised for it.
 
Thuban, which will probably be known as Phenom II X6, features and AM3 packaging, is built on 45nm technology, has six cores and an integrated memory controller, 3MB (512kB per core) L2 and 6MB of (shared) L3 cache, and is said to start off clocked at 2.8 GHz.

Y would you compare a DDR2 mobo (G31) to that of a DDR3 (AM3) ?The Rs6k price tag is fine imo.

lemme add some stuff.

Will have a TDP of 165W and have no applications optimized for it!

Thuban in 45nm = bad idea.

Just delay it a few more months and produce it in 32nm.
 
Seriously do we need 6 cores? Isn't 4 core is quite enough for what even enthus do?

Or is this targeted at server line of PC's?
 
If you can get 4 cores sailing smoothly, how difficult is it to increase them to 6 cores (or more)?

All I can come up with is the heating problem.

six core cpu's are already available in the server market they are istambul....and their are clocked to all the way to 2.6ghz iirc...

for video and audio encoding, photoshop etc more cores the better

not much use for games

we already have six cores manufactured on 45nm and working in the server market and the tdp are way less than 165w

but yes to get speeds in excess of 3ghz with six cores will be an issue in 45nm within 125w tdp limits.......32nm seems the right process for it

Yea mate, i do know that, but what i mean is that desktop versions will have more heat dissipation and power consumption than server ones...(duh!)

@darky ,get the point of my post, obv the number are not out yet, just guess work. Lets see if there is a Phenom 975 @3.6 stock...their Tri cores have a TDP of 95W so....point is they need 32nm for such a processor.
