And:

AMD to lower power usage of 45nm processors

********************************EXCERPT*************************

AMD's 45nm processors are expected to see core frequencies greatly increased, while L3 cache sizes will grow from 2MB to 6MB. Power consumption of the cache will also see a significant drop, noted the sources.

I’ve had a love for AMD since I bought my first Am486 100, but they’ve fallen behind, so much that I don’t think their competition is enough pressure on Intel anymore. I hope they recover, re-igniting fierce competition that keeps delivering better chips.

Thanks E. When AMD rolled out tricores last year, Intel claimed that they were just quadcore attempts that failed and AMD was selling them to recoup wafer costs. :’)
