Chipmaker AMD has offically lauched its triple-core Phenom X3 processors, hoping to capture the hearts and minds of both PC enthusiasts and systems designers by offering more power than now-everyday dual-core processors, but without the higher price—and higher power consumption—of quad-core systems. The Phenom X3 processors are initially available in 2.1, 2.3, and 2.4 GHz speeds at $145, $165, and $195, respectively.
