re: The Opteron 8000 series, which go into four-socket and larger servers, will get the Barcelonas first, followed by the two-socket Opteron 2000 series, and then later in 2007, the single-socket Opteron 1000 series and, presumably, the Athlon 64 FX and Althon 64 X4. "We really think that the sweet spot for Barcelona is four-socket machines, since these boxes have the kinds of workloads that can take the best advantage of threads and cores" says Fruehe. Four socket is where it will benefit the most because that's where HTT3 improves avg latency and bandwidth the most. Also a lot of current 4 socket systems will be upgraded by switching processors. So there will be more cpu sales than are sold with new 4S systems. I agree that launching it this will allows AMD to increase yields of this 286mm2 die before higher volume production. QC FX is I think due in Q3 (I think we had an article a while back that mentioned this specifically). So the launches might actually be pretty close together. 8000, 2000, 1000 and QC FX may be launched in the timeframe of say 4 months. Regards, Rink BTW, tx Doug for taking the tone out.
