AMD plans a bunch of new CPUs for Q2 2010 and one of them is part of a 2010 platform called Danube. This one has three cores, and is nothing more than a quad-core with one core disabled. It will be branded as Phenom II triple-core N820 mobile processor and N820 has a 35W TDP.

IT comes with three cores and 1.5MB total cache or 512KB per core, 128b FPU precision, DDR3-1333 support as well as an HT speed of 3.6GT/s.

This CPU also supports AMD-V. Since we still don't know the projected clock speeds, we can only tell you that this CPU looks like Phenom II quad-core mobile N920 who has the same specification, but four cores.

We believe that AMD has simply disabled one core on N920 and made the N820.
