Posted Mar 27, 08 4:26 PM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – Semiconductor company AMD has revealed updates to its Phenom line and will launch four quad-core chips that “can improve performance for gaming and multi-threaded applications,” the company says. The California firm also said it would ship triple-core processors, which CNet reports is a first for the PC market, CNet reports.

AMD was especially proud of one new chip, deeming the Phenom X4 9100e “the world's first energy-efficient desktop quad-core processor, providing customers with a cool and quiet digital media workhorse.” The new processor never operates above 65 watts.
