The launch sequence is dependent upon many things.
I wasn't talking about release orders.

I meant that for example original opterons and athlon 64's were the same processor... They designed it to be server proc and with minor modifications made the desktop proc
Likewise current phenoms are based on server architecture

It simplifies things but I would like to see complitely different architectures for server and dekstop

So Duploxxx first said that Core2 was based on desktop design and then with modifications they made the server version.
That's why countered it with my post
