Official AMD Barcelona Thread

[red]

after a week that went from K10 in Q2 at 2.4ghz unable to go further, to K10 in Q1 at 2.6Ghz to 2.4Ghz at lauch but just because AMD don't need more, that was a refreshing article.

??? 1. Where does this arbitrary 2.4Ghz K10 number keep coming from? 2. Also, how do you go about talking about Q2 first, then going about to Q1? Word to the wise, Sci is delusional and can't keep facts and fiction apart and never cites his numbers. So I guess the point of the article was that Sci thinks that AMD doesn't "need" 2.6GHz. Or maybe AMD can't clock them high enough.

Brisbanes clock better and cooler (F3 revision not included)

ok... I am not sure why the cooler part was thrown in as Shintai was talking about process performance I believe.

informal, how long is their 90nm going to run? It seems like AMD will continue to pump out their fastest K8s on it even near the end of 2007 http://images.tomshardware.com/2006/...m_dualcore.jpg
And where is the evidence that AMD will make native dual K10 rather than disabled quads?

[AMD Phenom Launch Schedule & Roadmap]

* AMD targets Barcelona to launch in Summer 2007 and expects ramp in frequency and volume subsequently. We can expect low clocked Barcelona in August timeframe
* Phenom series to be launched in Nov-Dec with DVT samples in Sep/Oct timeframe
* Phenom FX AM2+ part called FX-80 in Q4 timeframe and TDP for the FX series are yet to be determined
* 45nm Deneb, Propus, Regor and Sargas STARS cores in H2 2008
* Single-core Lima has been removed from the roadmap so single-core Orleans will be replaced by dual-core Rana in Q1 next year. The mainstream segment will shift from single core to dual core by early next year
* AMD expects to provide next schedule update in July

Nothing too new, but in a pretty chart.
