AMD has silently launched Phenom II X4 905e and this CPU is the first 45nm Deneb quad-core to fit the 65W TDP envelope. When it comes to specification it works at 2.5GHz and has 4x512KB cache, 6MB L3 shared cache and an integrated DDR3 / DDR2 memory controller.

The CPU is available and selling now for €165 or a bit more which is a great price for a quad core that doesn’t have such a high TDP. This will definitely be a favourite pet for people who would like a quad-core and they are not big fans of 125 or 95W TDP. You can buy one of these CPUs here.

If 65W TDP is still to high, in Q3, or should we say in a few months, AMD plans a quad-core with 45W TDP, but with a clock lower than 2.5GHz.
