    The release of new AMD Athlon and Phenom processors will help AMD round out its processor lineup for the chip maker’s recently released business desktop platform.

    Advanced Micro Devices has released a pair of new Phenom processors, along with two more Athlon chips, that will round out the chip maker’s offerings for its recently released corporate desktop platform.

    The new AMD processors, which the company announced Aug. 14, include a high-end, quad-core Phenom X4 9750B (2.4GHz) processor and a triple-core Phenom X3 8750B (2.4GHz) chip.
