FUD Zilla reports AMD will soon release some new Athlon II X2 processors with a 45W TDP:
AMD will soon roll out a couple of new energy efficient dual-core Athlon II X2 processors. The company currently offers two Regor-based parts with a 45W TDP, the 2.8GHz 240e and the 2.7GHz 235e.

The new 250e is clocked at 3GHz, while the 245e runs at 2.9GHz, which sounds nice considering the low TDP. Mind you, it is possible that the CPUs are based on the new C3 stepping, but at press time we are unable to confirm this.
Moreover, the company also plans two new single-core Sargas-based Sempron processors. The Sempron 145 will be a 2.7GHz part while the clockspeed of the Sempron 180 is still unknown.
