Noctua intros NH-C12P special edition
Vienna, December 9th 2009 – Noctua today officially introduced its new NH-C12P SE14 premium cooler. Building on the proven basis of the successful NH-C12P, the NH-C12P SE14 now comes with Noctua’s new, already award winning NF-P14 140mm fan for further improved quiet cooling performance and adds support for LGA1156 as well as LGA1366 via the latest SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system.
“Ever since its introduction last year, our NH-C12P has been a very popular choice among customers who seek excellent cooling performance close to our signature NH-U12P series at much lower height”, says Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. “More than 100 awards and recommendations from the international press are a testimony to the NH-C12P’s broad appeal, so we’ve decided to issue a special edition that adds compatibility with the latest Intel sockets and further improves the coolers renowned cooling efficiency by using our new NF-P14 fan.”
Further improving the original NH-C12P’s much acclaimed quiet cooling performance, the NF-P14 is a highly optimised, premium quality 140mm fan with Vortex-Control Notches for superb quietness and outstanding aerodynamic efficiency. Due to the NH-C12P’s top-flow design, two large Airflow-Gaps and the oversize 140mm fan, the cooler doesn’t only ensure excellent CPU cooling but also provides superior airflow for near-socket motherboard components. At a height of only 114mm, the NH-C12P SE14 is ideal for HTPCs or smaller chassis.
Thanks to the addition of the latest SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system, the new NH-C12P SE14 supports LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA775, AM2, AM2+ and AM3, making it compatible with Intel’s latest Core i7 and Core i5 processors. Topped off with Noctua’s pro-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-C12P SE14 forms a complete premium quality package that lends itself to applications that demand both excellent cooling efficiency and lower profile design.
Price and availability
The NH-C12P SE14 will be available shortly at a recommended retail price of EUR 59.90 / USD 69.90.

3.6GHz Once Phenom stepping three is available there might be a chance to make a 125W version of this CPU. The plans are in the pipe, and the good thing about it will be the price that will definitely sit close to €200,the current price of Phenom II X4 965. We will let you know when Phenom II X4 975 comes closer to being launched. Source: |

It’s possible Many people didn’t like the fact that Phenom II X4 965 has TDP of 140W, and many thing that is too much. As we said before in Q4 2009 AMD plans to launch Phenom II X4 965 with a 125W TDP and 3.4GHz frequency that will make many people happy. This new Deneb revision should keep the existing TDPs down and this is the same core that will find its way to quad-core notebooks. source: |

Dual core Phenom II 7MB cache at 3.2GHz

In Q4 2009 Calisto, AMD’s quad-core with two cores enabled and 7 MB of total cache will get its 3.2GHz version at some point in Q4 2009. Calisto has 2×512KB L2 cache per core and additional 6MB of L3 cache that makes it quite fast CPU. The name is Phenom II X2 555 and this CPU will work at 3.2GHz. Most people will like the fact that this CPU offers a lot of performance and 80W TDP and at the same time, there might be a chance that you’ll be able to unlock the additional two cores and get the quad core for the price of dual. Judging from the previous pricing, this CPU should cost around €80 in Euroland or around $100 in USA.’ source: |

Propus cacheless quad core available

2.9GHz in Q4 2009 Propus was supposed to be AMD’s secret weapon but for some reason it was delayed all the way to late August. Originally, Propus was planned to launch in Q1 2009, but it got out more than six month after the original schedule. If you look the usual price comparison engines, you can find that Athlon II X4 620 with its 2.6GHz clock and 4×512KB L2 cache and no L3 cache is available, for some €90+, here. The faster version Athlon II X4 630 is listed here, but it is still not available. Early Q4 2009 brings another, faster Athlon II X4 635 clocked at 2.9GHz remaining at the same 95W, something that is mutual to all Propus quads announced and planned so far. Probably some OEMs got more Propus quads and they plan to ship them in its Xmas machines but retail ones are still shy on the market. Source: |

AMD prepares Danube platform in 2010

Champlain quad-core CPU AMD is working on a new generation platform, the one that should replace upcoming the Tigris platform powered by Caspian dual-core CPUs. Danube will have Champain which we guess is Phenom II quad-core mobile edition and the platform includes support for DDR3 / DDR3L (1.35V) and S1g4 socket. The CPU is manufactured in 45nm and should be available in June 2010. Naturally, the platform also supports some new K10.5 Phenom II dual-core processors. The target group for Danube platform is mainstream notebook market. The platform also includes RS880M series IGP chipset that supports UVD 2 video, power play and DirectX 10.1. The Southbridge of choice for this platform is AMD SB820M and the graphics part to back it up is codenamed Manhattan series, which we guess is the DirectX 11 hardware in its mobile variant. The release date should be close to June 2010 but AMD currently only says it comes in 2010. soruce: |

L3 cash-less quad and tri core AMD is about to officially launch its heavily delayed Propus quad-core CPU that lacks L3 in its native design. The company plans to brand this CPU Athlon II X4 600 generation and of course this is a 45nm design. Propus was originally expected in early 2009, but for some reason it’s been delayed all the way to September. Rana is based on Propus and it’s a three core with 1.5MB L2 cache, no L3 cache and the top speed of 2.9GHz with a possibility to come at higher speeds. The launch time is September and the brand around it is Athlon II X3 400. We at least can expect that both these CPUs might end up cheap. Also read: Propus Athlon II’s already available source: |

Today is Phenom II X4 965 day

 3.4GHz Phenom II Deneb AMD has officially updated its Phenom II lineup today by introducing the fastest Phenom II X4 up to date, the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. The new Phenom II X4 965 BE is practically the same Phenom II X4 955 BE, except for the slight 200MHz core bump and a TDP bump to 140W, something that was last seen on the old Phenom 9950. In any case this is the fastest, or more precisely, highest clocked processor that ever came from AMD. On the other hand, according to the review over at Anandtech.com, the power consumption of this CPU is almost the same as that of the Phenom II X4 955 BE, as it only has a slight higher power consumption under load. It managed to hold its ground in gaming against some Intel’s Core i7 processors, and it is definitely faster than any LGA-775 processor. In any case it sounds like a great CPU, especially considering its US $245 price tag and the price of the entire platform. The new CPU has already listed and available at a few e-tail/retail sites, and bunch of reviews have already popped up around the net. You can find it listed here. Our review should be up soon, but until then you can find some reviews listed below, to keep you busy. - AnandTech |
