It has been reported that AMD is expected to introduce the Opteron 250 on the 18th of May.
AMD is performing a neat little trick to produce low power Opteron chips, we also learn. The firm grades 248 Opterons and test them for power consumption. The best of the bunch are downclocked to 1.4GHz and sold as low power 30W units, but at 248 prices, while the 1.4GHz category means they're really equivalent to Opteron 240s. The next best of the bunch are clocked to 1.6GHz and sold as 55 watt parts, although they're really equivalent to 242 parts.
