DAAMIT: AMD Barcelona on mid August, up to 2,4 Ghz
That will be enough to show Intel its 4 teeth.
Models will start at 1.9Ghz that was demoed at Computex.
Top Barcelona would reach 2,4Ghz at launch. FSB is 1Ghz.
And Bad Hardware predicted its top clock 2,5 Ghz to completely defeat Intel.
If launched in mid August, that means Barcelona production QUIETLY started, because for each chip production fab manufacturing process needs at least 8-9 weeks. Production quantities by mid August.
We had slight time frame slip, but isn't that quite normal for complex products?. Where else you can find 4 cores in a single die? Intel will get some, but only by brute force in 45nm, half a year later. But after another 6 months, Barcelona in 45nm would follow. So? Who is the king of the X86-64 hill?
We are eagerly waiting for Phenoms too, some three months later. That should be in the second half of November. Just in time for Christmas rush hours.
