The AMD CPUs have the following features in common, they are dual core, they have two L2 caches of equal size, were fabbed in AMD’s Fab30 in Dresden Germany, based upon the 90 nanometer SOI process and sport 128Kb of L1 cache. The Athlon 64 and Sempron CPUs have a die size of 103mm squared 512KB of L2 cache and 81.1 million transistors.

Today AMD is announcing two new CPUs, the FX-62 and 5000+. They are also porting many of the other CPUs to the AM2 platform and announcing a few new CPUs. The new AMD CPU lineup includes the X2 4800, the X2 4600+, the X2 4400, the X2 4000, the X2 3800+, the Athlon 64 3800+, the Athlon 64 3500+, the Sempron 3600+, the Sempron 3500+, the Sempron 3400+, the Sempron 3200+ and the Sempron 3000.

The FX-62 is AMD’s new flagship CPU. It has a projected MSRP of $1066 and is catered to the very highest end gamers and business users. The frequency on the new FX-62 is 2.8GHz, matching AMD’s highest frequency to date on the FX-57 single core CPU. There are two cores on the FX-62 with each core having 1MB of L2 cache. The FX62 has 227.4 Million transistors, on a 90 nanometer SOI process. The die size of the FX62 is 230mm squared.

The 5000+ is the second new CPU in AMD’s AM2 lineup. The frequency on this CPU is 2.6GHz, breaking the dual-core barrier of 2.4GHz found on the X2 4800+ CPU. 5000+ has 512KB of L2 cache per processor core, and is based upon 90 nanometer SOI technology. The new 5000+ has 153.8 million transistors and has a die size of 183mm squared.

AMD has ported their Socket 939 CPUs to the AM2 platform as well. The 4800+, the 4600+, the 4400+, 4200 4000 and 3800+ X2 CPUs are all moving to the AM2 platform essentially unchanged, with the same cache size, and clock speed. AMD has introduced a 4000+ to the AM2 platform which isn’t available on the 939 platform. Single core 3800+ and 3500+ Athlon 64 CPUs are also making the transition, as well as Sempron 3600+, 3500+, 3400+, 3200+ and 3000+ CPUs.//

AMD has also introduced their AMD Green initiative where the CPUs consume lower power for the same or higher performance, reduce greenhouse emissions and improve the environment. AMD Green CPUs have a maximum power output of 65W or 35W compared to the 125W on the FX62 and 89W on the 5000+. The Green model numbers include the X2 4800+, 4600+, 4400+, 4200+, 4000+ and 3800+ (65W), the X2 3800 (35W), the Athlon 64 3500+, and the 3400+, 3200+ and 3000 Sempron CPUs. AMD’s naming scheme is modified by an A for normal power, a O for 65W energy efficient processor and D for 35W energy efficient small form factor processor.
