Deneb is officially Phenom II

ChampionLLY · 22nd Nov 2008, 10:16 PM

AMD has confirmed that the CPU that we knew under codename Deneb is going to be branded as Phenom II. This confirms our original reports and the message behind the Roman number II is that the company fixed stuff and moved on from the original Phenom issues.

The new core doesn’t have overclocking problem, doesn’t have TLB or any other cache related bug and it looks quite healthy and therefore deserves Phenom II brand.

The new CPU has 4x512KB L2 cache, 6MB of shared L3 cache and it should be available early next year just as we suggested in our earlier reports.

We also found out that AM3 version of the same CPU will be branded as Phenom II but the number after the brand will be different. AM3 Phenom II comes a bit later and the first Phenom II to launch are AM2+ only.
