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"

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.

And demo Nehalem on the 10th.

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)

[OBR]

Is this the same day of paper launch of Intels 45nm cpus? I thought so.
