AMD’s Next-Gen High-End Desktop Platform to Feature Six-Core Chips, Due in Q2 2010 - The first desktop six-core microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices code-named “Thuban” are scheduled to arrive rather sooner than later, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. In fact, AMD does its best in order to release its Phenom II X6 central processing unit (CPU) in Q2 2010.
The world’s second largest developer of x86 chips plans to start shipping its AMD Phenom II X6 “Thuban” processors in the second quarter of next year, according to sources familiar with AMD’s roadmap. Presently it was thought that AMD would only start shipping its six-core desktop chips sometimes in Q3 2010, considerably later than its rival Intel Corp., which is set to release its six-core Core i9 “Gulftown” processors in the second quarter. However, AMD seems to continue its trend of launching its products rather earlier than later, which was started by Shanghai and Istanbul processors.

AMD Processor Phenom II X4 42 BE TWKR 7GHz
AMD Processor Phenom II X4 42 BE TWKR 7GHz - AMD has released a special limited edition processors are designed for heavy overclocking. These processors are named Phenom X4 42 II Black Edition TWKR, a new chip-based AMD Phenom II series and support high voltages, is also capable of running at higher frequencies. The chip is designed to handle extreme performance and high operating speeds. Overclocking, including the chip clock speed beyond the factory settings, often used to support the performance to demand high computing tasks.
While overclocking can increase the CPU performance, overclocking can also shorten the chip life and increase the risk of overheating the processor. For example, many systems overclocking using extra cooling, and some uses of ultra cold liquid, such as liquid nitrogen and helium. In the meantime, AMD will offer for sale TWKR processor in public, and will also be distributed to selected 100 experts overclocking. AMD expects that the chip Phenom X4 II Black Edition 42 This will add TWKR line Phenom II and a new performance record.
According to the expert who has received the chip, told the blog Overclockersclub.com, processor 42 Phenom X4 II TWKR Black Edition has a 2GHz speed, and is expected to support the 7GHz range under certain conditions. "It is amazing that could make enginner AMD processors without the bug." As written in these blogs.
