January info regarding the release of a 3.1 GHz-clocked Phenom II CPU came about and today, much to the joy of AMD fanboys and girls, the company is

Reported being set for an April release, the Phenom II X4 955 will be followed in May by a couple of cache-enriched dual-core Phenoms. Clocked at 3.0 GHz and 3.1 GHz respectively, the Phenom II X2 545 and 550 respectively will be able to brag with 6MB of L2 cache, three times the size of the Athlon X2 7750, and with both DDR3 and DDR2 memory support. The dual-core CPUs have a TDP of 85W and will work with AM2+ boards with the help of a BIOS update. The prices of the three upcoming 45nm Phenom are yet unknown.
