The list includes energy-efficient quad-core models, inexpensive triple-core ones, and budget dual-core offerings. All models are based on socket AM3, and are compatible with AM2(+) sockets. The dual-channel memory controllers on these chips support both DDR2 and DDR3 memory standards. This expansion clearly demarcates the target market of the Athlon II series: sub $150.<\/p>\n<p>The quad-core Athlon II X4 parts are based on the Propus die, which has 512 KB of dedicated L2 cache per core, and a HyperTransport 4.0 GT\/s system interface. The new Athlon II X3 triple-core models are most likely produced by disabling one of the four cores on the Propus die. The energy efficient Athlon II parts come with the &#8220;e&#8221; suffix for the model number, and offer lower rated TDP. Following are the details of these new parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Athlon II X2 235e: 2.70 GHz, 2 MB (2 x 1 MB) L2 cache, 45W TDP, US $69<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X2 240e: 2.80 GHz, 2 MB (2 x 1 MB) L2 cache, 45W TDP, US $77<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X3 400e: 2.20 GHz, 1.5 MB (3 x 512 KB) L2 cache, 45W TDP, US $97<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X3 405e: 2.30 GHz, 1.5 MB (3 x 512 KB) L2 cache, 45W TDP, US $102<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X3 425: 2.70 GHz, 1.5 MB (3 x 512 KB) L2 cache, 95W TDP, US $76<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X3 435: 2.90 GHz, 1.5 MB (3 x 512 KB) L2 cache, 95W TDP, US $87<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X4 600e: 2.20 GHz, 2 MB (4 x 512 KB) L2 cache, 45W TDP, US $133<\/li>\n<li>Athlon II X4 605e: 2.30 GHz, 2 MB (4 x 512 KB) L2 cache, 45W TDP, US $143<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/106442\/AMD_Expands_Athlon_II_Series_Processor_Lineup.html\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/106442\/AMD_Expands_Athlon_II_Series_Processor_Lineup.html', 'techPowerUp!']);\" >techPowerUp!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMD expanded its value processor lineup under the Athlon II banner, with as many as eight new models.
