AMD K10h Opteron will not reach 2,6Ghz until March 2008


Consequently, Phenom will not reach 2,8 Ghz before March too.
Only processor called Shanghai in 45nm, with 768Kb-1024Kb of L2 cache and 6MB shared L3, will finally be clocked at 3GHz. In August 2008. Thus; 2,8 Ghz Opteron should be launched in May 2008, to fit in that launch hole. And three cored Phenoms in March too, as a collateral repair to 2,8Ghz Phenom spin. Obviously, 65nm Opteron is pale product compared to its initial design goal in 45nm. Seems, no secrets for Bad Hardware. Right? Interestingly to note 1 Tflops limit broke Intel, in the year 1996.
1 Petaflops limit will brake Cray with AMD ,probably with low power Opterons 12 years later. Another 12 years, another company? and new limit will be broken? For now we know only Intel's response for January 2008. Ans in H2 2008 Intel's Nehalem might be ready. Because Core2 QX9775 is literally hot stuff at 135W no leakage technology TDP . And no likely any clock improvement in future clock. If you desperately need it, than suck it.
