Could B3 Phenom be the rebirth of AMD....+1000MHZ OC done!

[Nedjo]

AMD will provide current B3 to earn the approval of the Public and take them out of the Hot seat that they are in with B2 Rev but I should not think they will put anymore effort into B3 65nm just would not make any sense not to focus on the 45nm die shrink and focus exclusively on that.

Well the fact is that you can't simply overnight swap complete production from 65 to 45nm, and as we all come to learn, CPU's with previous node generation will be available in parallel with the new ones…

Due to fact that AMD is quite agile when it comes to perfecting current technology thanks to CTI, I wouldn't dismiss possibility of further perfection of B3's… they don't need to call them B4 all they need to do is to provide enough high yield on frequencies beyond 2.6 GHz for more 65nm Phenoms.

As an illustration to how effective CTI is I would remind you that B1 or BA, how they were called for commercial K10's, was out in Q3 2007, and B2 followed in Q4 2007 and B3 was in production in Q1 2008! And if you look back and add in account all necessary debugging, AMD has made tremendous advancement from B1 to B3, basically having new core in three quarters consequently!
