The Energy Efficient AM2 CPUs will be produced in the same manner in which the Opteron HE/EEs are; the specs of the CPUs are the same, but thanks to the use of lower power transistors overall power consumption is reduced. The most impressive items are the 65W Athlon 64 X2s as well as the new 35W Athlon 64 X2 3800+. AMD tells us that they will not change the branding on their Energy Efficient AM2 CPUs, instead they will simply list the wattage on the box itself (the part number will obviously be different as well). Given that AMD will be stuck on 90nm throughout the rest of this year, the Energy Efficient AM2 CPUs will be a nice way to get even lower power consumption on your AMD desktops.

I have not listened to Hectors talk from yesterday. Did 65nm slip to 07?
