AMD Phenom 9950 to run at 2.66GHz

Posted on Friday, May 16 2008 @ 23:15 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

FUD Zilla reckons AMD will soon release a 2.66GHz Phenom 9950 processor. This chip should be available before the RV770 graphics cards.

This speed might suggest that the CPU might run at 10x266FSB, but this is something that we will have to confirm.

Phenom 9950 was scheduled for a late May launch and it’s most likely to show its face before Computex 08 that starts on June 3rd , or at least at this event. AMD doesn’t plan any big launch but it will make some noise when it gets it out.
