A motherboard compatibility list has revealed AMD's new top-end Athlon II processor. The Athlon II X2 255 is clocked at 3.1GHz (200MHz FSB with a 15.5x multiplier), and 2MB of L2 cache. It will support SSE through SSE4a, and the (expected) amd64 architecture. It will be built for the AM3 platform, but backwards compatible with AM2+ and as a result supports DDR2 and DDR3 at 800 and 1066MHz respectively.
