The Phenom III lineup by AMD was updated by the company on Monday with latest quad-core and its first triple-core Phenom III processors, across the DDR-3 memory transition in the process. Other than this, five new Phenom. Meanwhile, an important and decent upgrade is the quiet shift to AMD's AM3 architecture. Till this time, AMD's Phenom III line has been sold in collaboration with the AM2+ architecture that itself is tied to mainstream DDR-2 memory. More advanced, higher-performance DDR-3 memory is used by the AM3 platform.

David Schwarzbach, a senior marketing manager at AMD reported, “The AM3 differences there are very minor. You can take an AM3-packaged processor; slip it into am AM2+ socket with BIOS upgrade, and in with the vast majority of channel boards, your system will work immediately.”
