AMD puts the 'B' in business CPUs
AMD HAS TAKEN the wraps off four new processors aimed for business machines.
The new CPUs are based on existing architectures, but have apparently been streamlined for greater stability and longevity, improved productivity and energy savings.
They're due to be pumped out to the OEM market, and have 'B' tacked onto the end so you know they're for 'business'.
The new chips include a pair of Phenoms, namely the X4 9750B Quad-Core Processor and the X3 8750B Triple-Core Processor, both running at 2.4GHz and drawing 95W.
The other pair are from the Athlon family and comprise the X2 5600B Dual-Core Processor at 2.9GHz and 65W and the X2 4850B Dual-Core Processor at 2.5GHz and 45W.
There was no news on price or exactly when these new chips will start tipping up in our business class PCs, but it can't be far away. µ

these could make for a good HTPC processor too. Something that doesn't need to be overclocked and just sits and runs day in, day out all the time for years.
Dell has them, and more than just 4;

John,

Those are the old B Athlons. These 4 aren't the first, just the latest.
Please place link that disscuses the differences or actually discuss them in the article please. This article is plainer and more vanilla than a press release.
