well, they're shipping for revenue (according to them) but not to the channel. this is for direct buy enterprise. they didn't make the august rev. date but they will make Q3.
i still maintiain that's not the case. but, we'll see. between S7 and I we should be able to validate those #s...which is the sign of good science anyway.
anand IS a big fish in the prosumer market but that's about where it ends. they DID send him B2 procs....those 2.5ghz ones with the Sharpie writing on the top
. that's the coup d'etat in the whole deal...they're showing that:
a.) they CAN scale quickly to higher speeds
b.) that Barcelona really has a lot more breathing room than was previously thought.
again, it's the double-edged sword i talked about in earlier posts....
as for my FAE, well, he's been @ AMD for a LONG time and has no compunctions whatsoever in telling me what parts of AMD function well and those which don't. that's the screening question for finding out if someone's telling the truth or not.
And, he comes highly recommended from several of my other AMD collateral in the area (folks at the Boston Design Center) as being a no-holds-barred kinda guy....
cheers,
dave
