AMD revealed that it will ship the first triple-core processors to make it to the market. In addition to the triple-core processors, AMD also updated the quad-core Phenom lineup, which totals seven different Phenom processors.
The goal of the new triple-core lineup is to create a market for consumers that are not yet ready for quad-core. The VP of Advanced Marketing at AMD stated, "When you've maxed out your two cores...[this is an] extra core to do background tasks.
The AMD Phenom X3 models are the 8400 at 2.1GHz, and the 8600 at 2.3GHz. A 30% increase in performance is expected when the chip is paired with the AMD 780 series chipset. HP is already implementing the Phenom X3 and X4 in business PCs.
