AMD has another surprise for Intel. It's preparing a CPU codenamed Callisto and this is a new CPU that we haven’t seen on the roadmap before.
The Heka three-Core is nothing more than Deneb quad-Core without one Core, and with this in mind AMD wants to do the same with the new dual-Core. The CPU, codenamed Callisto, is a 45nm dual-Core with 1MB L2 and a massive 6MB of L3 cache.
This is an AM3 CPU that is harvested from the Deneb Core and despite the fact that it might be quite a big chip, it should give dual-Core Pentium CPUs a run for its money. You can expect this CPU in Q2 2009 and we are sure that this CPU might give Intel's Core 2 dual-Core generation a lot to fight for.
