BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Where are the hell Barcelona benchmarks?
Please, enough with logo paperwork, we want real products or benchmarks. Now. Beside, seems that new Opteron might start with 2 cores. I don't see X4 mark at new Barcelona logo. Barcelona will start two cored? What a disaster. Seems that 65nm silicon can't bring out 4 cores, what else to say. That means in the worst case 4 cores only in 1Q 2008?.
Let me remind you, AMD released its dual-core Opteron server/workstation processors on 22 April 2005, and its dual-core desktop processors, the Athlon 64 X2 family, were released on 31 May 2005.
Was it normal 4 cores to expect in April 2007. Add evident K10 delay of 6 months. That means app. October 22nd 2007 target date for 4 cores Barcelona launch. And half of November for Phenom's. Yeah, I allow some K10 delays, because 4 cores are not in complexity terms simple linear scaling, like it was two core design (compared to single cored one). But, will competitors allow yet another possible delay? Thus, seems resonable to assume ONLY 2 cores Barcelona EARLY PRElaunch on September 11th. Though, I can't imagine hardware public angry voices in that case. However, one AMD's bad marketing excuse might be that September 11th is simply bad launch date target.
And who will be responsible for that latest debacle? Recently fired AMD's marketing director. In practice, no one. However, we want someone's blood. And tears. And nothing less than that.
We all know Phenom will start two cored, when its time come, but Barcelona too? OMG. Real disaster. Or, perhaps, you would more like wait 4X BArcelona on October 22 nd. And than perhaps again wait and wait . Who would like it?
