AMD Shanghai/Deneb Review Thread

[MasterYoda34]

Uh oh, the whole of 2009 and 2010 AMD have no new CPU to replace Deneb. They're really confident of this baby?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They must be planning on ramping the clockspeeds over time. Otherwise they will become completely uncompetitive again once Intel goes 32nm in early 2010.

phenom I went for 2 months in 2007 and all of 2008. it was supposed to last two years but it got delayed 8 months. intel is doing the same with nehalem i believe. i don't think they got anything new coming for awhile either.

Intel's roadmaps still show Westemere (Nehalem 32nm shrink) for Q4 09.

Also i doubt this is a complete roadmap from amd.

Yep.They are likely to try out 32nm on a shrink of Deneb/Istanbul than go for a new process node and a new uarchitecture in one go.
