AMD to start Bulldozer AM3+ production by March 2011, launch in April 2011

The schedules have not changed at all.

Desktop in Q2
Server in Q3

That article is NOT correct, it should not have the word "delay" in it.

There. Can we all just drop this?

What I want to know is why Desktop is before Server, you guys usually release Server first. Is it because Desktop seems more important as a larger market?

Let me guess. Server CPU validation is longer and desktop environment is more errata tolerant. I can imagine that the first server Bulldozer will be a never stepping/revision than the first retail desktop model. See Nehalem C0 and D0 steppings for an example.

Same reason intel did it...
