Intels first 45nm SRAM: http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archi...060125comp.htm
January 25th, 2006. Thats almost 2 years from first SRAM till 45nm CPUs can be bought, i doubt AMD can do it much faster so im not going to be exited quite yet.

AMD needs to get IBM backing them on their fab tech.
FWIW, Intel showed the first "fully functional" 45nm wafers in January 2006.
Edit: Damb... Ted3 beat me to it.
umm IBM is one of AMD's process partnersQuote:

Chartered/AMD is serious about 45nm production and its no surprise that AMD is Chartered's biggest customer. I wouldnt be surprised if AMD was funding the expediting of Module B..... ;)Quote:

is the first barcelona quads in opterons? like very soon 2007,
...then desktop phenom crapola early 2008?
amd talk about releasing a "tsunami" of new stuff...but that's more like 2008 isn't it?
..but i thought new amd opterons this year :confused: actually i have no idea what's going on at all :yawn:
"ahem; i have a theory: dinosaurs were thin at one end, big and fat in the middle, and thin at the other end. that is my theory." :)
That's true but this is SRAM and logic.Quote:

Roughly you can say 65nm aint 65nm when comparing. Or 45nm for that matter. We already make some memory at 50nm as example. But thats lightyears from making CPUs or the simpler GPUs.
AMD had their 45nm SRam within 6 months of intel...Quote:

No...IBM had their 45nm within 6months of Intel. Unless AMD owns the Fishkill facility...Quote:
