First “Athlon” Llanos in Europe

Some British retailers have started to list new Llano processors. New APU Llano units include the triple core A6-3500 processor, A6-3600 and A8-3800. At this stage it is not possible to work out an exact price because of exchange rate fluctuations but expect the A6-3500 to start at about €76 while the other two units will be at least 10% more expensive.

The interesting part is the fact AMD is also relaunching the Athlon and Sempron series of processors from the 32nm Llano architecture, these will be without the graphics parts that the APU units have so the Athlons and Semprons will be processors only. The AMD Athlon II 641X, 631X and 221X are being launched, the 631X is going to be a quad core 2.6GHz processor with a 100W TDP for a reasonable price of €68, whilst the prices of the others are to be released soon. The Sempron 198X is also due and it will be a single core Llano processor, expect a TDP of 65W or 35W for this unit but this is not scheduled for release just yet.
