TC Mag says AMD will launch two energy-efficient triple-core Toliman processors in mid-Q3 2008:
The CPUs in plan are the Phenom X3 8450e and X3 8250e, both build on 65nm and featuring a 65W TDP, 2MB of L3 cache and HyperTransport 3.0. The 8450e is clocked at 2.1 GHz, just like the non-e Phenom 8450 while the 8250e will have to settle for a stock frequency of 1.9 GHz. No word on pricing yet but it we're 'lucky' they'll both be found for under $150.
