AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[trueblue]

Not necessarily. There are major and minor steppings and sub steppings below that.

Istanbul is D0, for instance, but Shanghai was C3 if I remember correctly. Sometimes you launch with x1 and do a stepping to x2 in midlife. You can't tell final silicon based on the revs.

JF-AMD,

Is their an official date yet for the release of the C32 socket? I am hoping to see some reasonably priced dual socket motherboards for desktop workstations (engineering simulations, cad, etc)

Thanks
