AMD to launch Barcelona quad-core on September 10

Chicago (IL) – AMD today sent out emails inviting analysts, media and industry representatives to what the company calls "the most anticipated premiere of 2007"

Quote:

If AMD keeps its promise of avoiding a paper launch, then Barcelona-based systems should be available for purchase beginning at launch or the day right after it, September 11.

We were told by AMD representatives that Phenom will follow 60 to 90 days after Barcelona, which puts the introduction of the chip into the mid-November to mid-December time frame.

The Barcelona launch event will be held in San Francisco's Presidio, beginning at 6:30 PM on September 10.

Ship and Launch are different, sounds like a hard launch if they are shipping from now until September.

They said they'd start shipping a handful :) in August, for revenue, and that servers would begin to be available in September from OEMs.

Intel should launch Penryn on the 9th. :D

And demo Nehalem on the 10th. :ROTF:

I hope the launch the 1XX versions of these like we saw in the 939 opterons.

Wait a second.. won't these chips drop into the 4x4 platform since it's Socket F (1207)? We might actually get to see some overclocked results afterall rather than server-board results!

yes, this is just barcelona (which for some reason has ht3 disabled), the rest of k10 will come out a bit later, phenom being 60-90 days later, and shanghai/what not I believe q1 08 to q4 08 (am3)

If you're that easily satisfied then I guess all AMD have to do is re-release a Barton core and you'll be happy.

Seriously, that movie raped the Transformers' memory.

only a month to go and we know very little performance wise cant wait for someone to get hold of these. so i can go ahead and build something

AFAIK Crysis is out in november i will have a new pc for it i just hope that amd comes to play in time
08-09-2007, 08:24 AM

Barcelona launched at 10.9 will be ONLY server chip at 2GHz ... who wants this slowly toy? For desktop, Phenoms for normal use we will wait 2-3 months, for sure to Q1/08!

I talked with my AMD source today, and he told me : first platform whats you get for testing will be dual FX mobo with RD790 chipset ..., nothing before ... no server mobo + Opteron with Barcelona core ... first CPUs for Reviews will be Wahoo mobo with two FX Phenoms late in October ...

Does that mean that the 680a QuadFX board won't be compatible?

Who knows? But it is not good deal, use K10 on old chipset, performance will be worst then on RD790 ... because new chipset has HT 3.0.

unless HT 3.0 is like AGP 8x->PCI-e x16. if the bus is already bigger than it needs to be there'll be no performance improvement from making it wider. if the memory controller was on the northbridge then a wider HT link would be great, but i doubt it'll make a difference on single processor systems. the only thing i'd worry about is whether the split power planes on AM2+ boards vs the single power plane on AM2 will have any effect on overclocking

for 1S HT3.0 is worth :banana::banana::banana::banana:

just found it on the piostar page, it seems to be a HT1 board with split power planes:
t-force 560 A2+

HT1 with regular pwm, i don't get it. :confused:

Actually, the Biostar t-force 560 is quite the overclocker, and very stable...
