AMD is ready with ATHLON II...

AMD is busy gearing up with new line of low cost 45 nm processors dubbed as "ATHLON II" which we say "ATHLON 2". This one coexists with the current PHENOM II line and would also be available in dual,triple and quad-core versions with probably reduced or no L3 caches.

New PHENOM II chips are also to be out in the next few months and would include several low power models. Now for the rival news - Intel is readying its new Mainstream Core i7 derivatives for desktops which means - Core 2 Duo prices might drop!!! Watch out fellows and this might be little difficult for AMD as well!!!
