well, at least they're giving us dates... and they're not that far away. If they're that close, that means all of the imminent problems were taken care of.

AMD Preps Partners for "Barcelona" Launch
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=8185Quote:
AMD's next-generation launch date is still set for "summer 2007"
AMD is set to debut its third-generation Opteron server processor architecture later this quarter. The company publically announced its upcoming launch next month, but the company's latest processor guidance, released just this week, states otherwise.
Good they're giving us more info now :D
Ouch.Quote:

Then, in Q4, they hope to sample more in October, presumably launching late in Q4, along with Phenom FX:
68W 2.0GHz
95W 2.1-2.3GHz
120W 2.4-2.5GHz
No 2.6GHz until Q208 at the earliest.
Looking at the hoped-for samples for Q4, I see indications of process problems. Look how much the power bin needs to climb to get from 2.0GHz (68W) to 2.4GHz (120W).
Not good.
Harpertown will wipe the floor with these parts. Even Clovertown will. :)
Okay, first don't make assumptions.Quote:

What assumptions do you think I'm making?Quote:

Of course Intel parts are going to require increased power with higher frequency. My point was to notice the very large power bin jump required for a very small frequency increase in the K10.
This assumptionQuote:

Small correction to the other guy. Q6600 has a TDP of 105W, not 120W and that's the old stepping the G0 is lower. Q67xx is 130W. AMD and Intel have always improved their steppings during each Core's life-span.

Indeed, G0 Q6600 is 95W as well as raising the "thermal specification" from 62.2C to 71C. But wrong, QX6700=130W but Q6700 is 95W http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SLACQ .Quote:

Somebody enlighten me please, why is it the server based cpu's are always launched first?:confused:

AMD Phenom Processor (Barcelona) Pre-Launch Update
http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.a...tno=425&pgno=0Quote:
As the official launch of the AMD quad-core Opteron (Barcelona) processors in August and the desktop Phenom processors later this year draw close, AMD is rapidly ramping up media coverage of the new Barcelona core architecture. You can count on more media coverage and updates on the new Barcelona-based processors over the coming weeks.
by 'media coverage' they mean benchmarks, right? :rolleyes:

"At the analyst day this morning, AMD demoed a 3Ghz Phenom running the new 'Tri-Fire multi-GPU' setup."
oh dear goodness I hope that's a K10, not a K8.

i think it's K10, it's writed ES :DQuote:

It's quad core,for all those intel fanboys :).
To AMD Fanboys, everyone doesn't blindly trust AMD.Quote:

2. Proof of number one. They must have tested tons to find a Quad one:)
3. People were flamed for saying AMD was having problems debugging.
That goes for lying folks at Intel as well. How can we forget the 4GHz Northwood demo, this is the same kind of schlock! I honestly hope it was Quad Core, but how can ANYONE prove it? :rofl: I say again, AMD could STOP most of this very easily. As it stands, AMD could have said it was Octo (8) Core some here would believe them.
Bashing strongly i see.What would we do without you guys,i wonder ...
thats enough..closed
