Easily upgrade to AMD new 45nm process processor
Phenom™ quad-core processors are indicative product in recent years. As a result of the internal structure evolution, it has added the L3 Cache and quad core processors expansion to increase the computing ability, making AMD the most effective representation platform. Today, in order to try the clock performance and low power consumption, AMD had breakthrough the 65nm limit. The official threshold of new nanometer process processor technology, which will make the current Phenom™ processor to break the 2.6GHz maximum clock, and then raise to 3.0GHz. As for the processor TDP, it will reduce to from 140W to 125W. Support DDR3 memory is the most important feature of the AM3 CPU.
