Hello ITVidya Members,

AMD launches a new Energy Efficient Processor in order to save the energy consumption.

AMD has introduced new desktop processors designed for users seeking the ultimate in energy-conscious high-performance computing.

The new energy-efficient processors include 45-watt Athlon 64 single-core processors 3500+ and 3800+, and the Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+.

Intel plans to launch three quad-core processors on Monday, covering two Xeons for lower-end servers and one mainstream model for desktop computers, sources familiar with the plan said.

As expected, the desktop chip is called the Core 2 Quad 6600 and will join the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 model Intel already ships. The new processor will run at 2.4GHz, and the front-side bus that links the chip to the rest of the system will run at 1066MHz, the company is expected to announce at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week.
