Strange.... :rolleyes:
This die photo pops up in an AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE Review.
The 550 BE is a Deneb with two cores disabled and with 6MB L3.
The photo is a quad core with 4x512kB L2 and no L3 which should
be Propus...

Roughly 168 mm^2

Ooops, looks like someone mistakenly leaked Propus die shot :D
Such a small die, the price on this CPU will be very interesting...
thats my house second street from the left 4 house up !!!
die shots always remind me of google maps :D
It is 512kb x 4 = 2mb? correct? Wonder how much not have l3 caching will hurt it. Some good comparisons between this and ph 2 are needed :)
Great find hans!
For photoediting/rendering, 3D I think the impact will be minimal. Benchmarks on the other hand...:p:Quote:

Pretty sexy looking die. Really curious to see one of these things in the wild and see how she performs.
i think a 200mhz difference will be enough to make that quad perform as good as a deneb, best performance per mm^2 of any chip i bet
wow.. nice find Hans!
168mm2 sounds like the goods for a bargin quad!
Hopefully quite low power too.. judging by Regor @ 3Ghz, especially with the reduced frequency and Voltage northbridge!
Now I need to know when!
Thank you Hans!
