That's funny, because the article says: Behind closed doors, insiders revealed to DailyTech a few tidbits of the long term quad core roadmap. AMD will introduce no less than four quad-core families over the next two years, with the first being Deerhound. Deerhound, we are told, will be a Socket F server processor expected to ship late next year on the K8 -- not K8L -- architecture. Deerhound did not appear to support FB-DIMM. And HKEPC quotes Taiwan mobo makers as confirming the Anandtech information. That's 2 sources. I guess they could have some DC K8L parts coming sooner-- they'd better.

Re: Doug - I wouldn't read too much into the dates in that dailytech article, it seems very fuzzy and non-specifically sourced, especially when it comes to what the code names actually represent. I'd sooner accept what AMD explicitly said at the Processor forum, according to David Kanter. It seems that is the same story that everyone is hearing. The roadmap at PC Watch from a couple weeks ago tells a similar story. Now that it seems certain Brisbane won't be K8L all of the other processors that are labelled K8 rev. G won't be K8L either including Deerfield, Tyler, Sparta, etc. The scary part is the lack of dual-core K8L on the roadmap. The earliest possibility listed is the blank desktop part scheduled at the end of 2007. If AMD has a bunch of dual-core K8L's planned for next year they haven't told anyone about them even though later K8L quad-cores are now known. David Kanter's comment about K8L in Q1 2007 is what led me to believe DC K8Ls are coming much ealier than quad-cores. If his impression is wrong it is very bad news for AMD because K8L will primarily be competing with Intel's 45-nm CPUs. pc.watch.impress.co.jp
