Expreview claims AMD will introduce the Kuma core in Q1 2009. There will be two chips: the 2.7GHz Athlon X2 7750 and the 2.5GHz Athlon X2 7550. Both chips are made at 65nm, with 3MB cache and a 95W TDP.

According to the roadmap, Athlon X2 7550 will be a 2.5GHz Kuma, except the clock all other spec is the same with our ES version. Athlon X2 7750 runs at 2.7GHz. For cache,TDP and other information, you can read the chart we compiled.

So there is no more Athlon 6500+, AMD want Kuma to be 7 series dual core. Both of the chip will come out in 09Q1. The company positioned Kuma to encounter intel E7400 and E7300, do you think Kuma can beat them?
