Deneb just around the corner?

[Chris_redfield]

I have a friend who works for a company building servers for large corporations and most of the systems they sell use AMD CPU's.

I think he also said they sell more systems using the RSX cpu than they do Xeons. Though I tend to get a bit confused when he gets going.

Yesterday marked the launch of Intel’s new Core i7 processor series based on the Nehalem microarchitecture. Reviews and benchmarks poured in from around the web, describing Core i7 as extremely powerful and a worthy successor to the Core 2 series, due in large part to the CPU’s on-die memory controller and Intel’s new QPI technology.

AMD of course is not standing still and has recently leaked some more details of its 45nm quad-core competitor on the desktop, Deneb. The company will reportedly launch two such chips this month, the Phenom X4 20550 and 20350, with core frequencies of 3GHz and 2.8GHz respectively.

It’s not yet known how well they’ll perform against Intel’s latest offerings and AMD has already claimed that initially they don’t intend to compete at the enthusiast level, but at least the company is making the chips compatible with current AM2+ motherboards via a bios update – so unlike the Core i7 a motherboard upgrade is not necessary. AMD will also launch six 45nm triple-core CPUs in the first quarter next year, followed by six higher-end 45nm quad-core CPUs and four entry-level processors sometime in the third quarter of 2009.

that price is from an a september article. hope that it has come down a bit now. The $250 price would be perfect IMO for the 3GHz BE. (That would hit in the €200 mark, although i might flex it up to €250)

If everyone would just ignore this guy, I am positive he will go away. Possibly to AMDZone!
Everyone just ignore his uselessness.
