yeah I saw this. That's not a good move.
that can't be true :(
september please :slapass:
yay high oc's low volts ftw for Server desktop chips :D
crap. just one quarter? didn't a few roadmaps say Q2?
Most roadmaps said Q2 for the server chips, not for the desktop part which were slated to launch in Q3 but now they are telling us differently.
Waiting for more sources..
And this is from a company that just fired 3% of it's global workforce!

AMD can't hold a schedule if you put a gun to their collective heads.
As a shareholder, it's time for a management shakeup, bigtime. Hector needs security to escort his fat ass out the door.
better late then never, or no?
two years after, i prefer never :rolleyes:Quote:

yup I happily use my 6300 till then. If AMD proves there quad core is in-deed good I will jump ship, but till then Core 2 FTW!
Lucky you, playing with Conroes. I was waiting 2 months after its release to get one. What do you think about Penryn top frequency? Does 3.5GHz C2Q, 3.66GHz C2D sounds logical to you?
This is gonna be a paper launch isn't it? :slapass:
Poor Cyrix...
Christmas, thats simply to long..
Since it taped out in mid august 06 I don't see why some believe the crap about Q2/early Q3 launch...
Validation takes at least 1 year and more so on complex designs like K10 where AMD changed the cores and put 4 of them on the same die.
Why claims it is late? Some people take sometimes their dream for reality... Before the big barcelona hype, one year ago: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...503150902.html desktop version for Q1 2008. So in fact they are in advance.

First, you will see desktop variance of Barcelona in both two core and four core form in Q3 as well.
So I correct my post, reading many dreams from fanboys, Dirk R. Meyer take those dreams for reality... :D
... or could we trust COO when the loss are 611 millions $?
Guys anybody will be able to buy Barcelona for desktop in Q3!
Are you all forget that Opteron 1xxx is AM2(+) CPU??
Anyone wanting Barcelona ASAP should shave few more $$ for Opteron1xxx B0(2) stepping and job done...
Server doesn't necessarily mean all Opteron. I'm pretty sure they're shooting for quad socket, then dual socket, then single socket along with desktop.
