A slide detailing AMD’s Q4 2008 roadmap has turned up on a Spanish forum , confirming that the company plans to announce its first Deneb quad-core desktop processors at CES 2009 in January. Closer at hand, though, are the 2.5GHz 95W Phenom X3 8850 and the 2.6GHz 45W Athlon X2 5050e, with single- and dual-core low-power CPUs following in November. The low-power chips are the 1.6GHz Athlon 2650, single-core with a draw of just 15W, and the dual-core Athlon X2 3250e, running at 1.5GHz and requiring up to 22W. November will also see “AMD Ultra-Value Client (UVC) Solutions”, not for general retail but for OEM customers, which it’s theorized are Atom-rivalling Geode chips for netbooks. In December, AMD will release a 95W Phenom X3 8850 triple-core CPU, with an unlocked clock speed of 2.5GHz. That will be joined by the two Deneb quad-core processors, running at 3.0GHz and 2.8GHz and both requiring 125W; however, they are embargoed until January 8th, the second day of CES 2009.
