The Athlon II X2 245e is a Regor-based processor clocked at 2.9GHz with a 45W TDP. It will sell for €79 and some time later AMD will also introduce a 3GHz part, dubbed 250e. On another note, next week AMD will also start shipping the 3.2GHz Athlon II X2 260. It should cost around €75 and it has a 65W TDP.
For €100 you can get a tri-core Athlon II X3 415e, clocked 2.5GHz. It's based on the Rana core and like the rest of the 'e' series Athlons it features a 45W TDP. A new 45W quad-core is also on the way. The 610e is based on the Propus core and it's clocked at 2.5GHz. It's currently listed at around €140, but we believe it should sell for a bit less once it launches, as the 2.4GHz 605e is available for under €100.
