AMD Previews Early 2010 Releases

[onethreehill]

Intel announced its latest wave of CPU and chipsets today, so it's hardly surprising that AMD has also chimed in with a few details about the hardware it plans to release in early 2010.

Among the entries in its lineup is the 555 Black Edition CPU; AMD says it will be the company's "fastest-ever dual-core CPU," and if the company's naming history continues to be a guide, it will be unlocked and ready for overclocking. The Athlon II family will see three new processors: the quad-core 635, the triple-core 440, and the dual-core 255.

Also planned are further entries in the 5000-series line of DirectX 11–ready graphics cards, at "new and more affordable price points," according to press information........
