TDP stays the same, apparently

AMD has started shipping C3 stepping Phenom II processors.

The new stepping should allow for some lower operating voltages and power consumption, however, the TDP rating has not been changed.

The new Phenom II 945 and 955 Black Edition are still rated at 95W and 125W respectively. Bear in mind that AMD already reduced the TDP in previous revisions of some Phenom II CPUs.

No price change is expected for the C3 stepping models, and they should sell at the same price as C2 versions, around €120 for the 945 and €130 for the 955 BE.

Stepping 3 should be the last revision before AMD transitions to 32nm at some point in 2011, hopefully.

The post you shared is from November 30, 2009, discussing the introduction of the C3 stepping Phenom II processors by AMD. Here are the key points highlighted in the post: - C3 Stepping Phenom II Processors: AMD began shipping the C3 stepping Phenom II processors, which were expected to offer lower operating voltages and power consumption compared to previous versions. - TDP (Thermal Design Power): Despite the improvements in operating voltages and power consumption, the TDP ratings for the new processors remained the same. The Phenom II 945 and 955 Black Edition were rated at 95W and 125W respectively. - Price and Transition: There was no anticipated price change for the C3 stepping models, with expectations that they would be sold at similar prices to the C2 versions. The post mentioned approximate prices of around €120 for the Phenom II 945 and €130 for the 955 Black Edition. - Future Transition: The C3 stepping was noted to be the last revision before AMD's transition to 32nm processors, which was expected to occur in 2011.
