This morning we opened the week with five new processors from AMD, which fall within the Athlon II and Phenom II, and arriving earlier to join the existing models.

The new models belong to middle and low ranges, with prices between 74 and 169 euros, without bringing any striking difference. Of note is the Phenom II AMD X2 555, Dual-Core Black Edition type that will sell for $ 99.

The list of new models and some of its features is:
AMD Athlon X2 II 255 at 3.1 GHz, 65W TDP, $ 74.
AMD Athlon II X3 440 to 3.0 GHz, 95W TDP, $ 84.
AMD Athlon X4 II 635 2.9 GHz, 95W TDP, $ 119.
AMD Phenom X2 II 555 to 3.2 GHz, 80W TDP, $ 99.
AMD Phenom X4 II 910e to 2.6 GHz, 65 W TDP, $ 169.

The Athlon X2 II 255 is positioned as an interesting option towards users who do not need much power, more affordable than the cheapest of Intel Core GPU i3 but not including, of course. In addition, the AMD Phenom X4 910e II stands out as the upper middle range, with four cores, good power consumption and very acceptable, especially with a fairly moderate price.

Needless to say, these five new models are designed for desktop computers with the AM3 socket and also support DDR3 memory.
