AMD is planning to launch two new dual-core processors during ComputeX 2009, Athlon II X2 250 and Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition.

Athlon II X2 250 based on Regor core works at 3.0GHz, and features 1MB L2 cache per core. With built-in DDR2/DDR3 memory controller, the TDP is 65W. The best of all is it will sell at $87, which is really affordable.

Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition based on Calisto core runs at 3.1GHz and features 6MB L3 cache and 2x512KB L2. This multiplier unlocked CPU with 80W TDP is priced at $102 according to Fudzilla.

Anyway, Athlon II X2 and Phenom II X2 will put pressure on Intel’s Core 2 and Pentium dual-core processors.
