Doug is this the DailyTech article you are talking about?

dailytech.com

If so, would you please reread it. There are a few points in that article that don't make any sense at all to me:

"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."

So AMD is not going to have a quad core part until late 07? Which will be based on K8. Then in early 08 they will ship K8L based ones that require a new socket? These points seem to fly in the face of what AMD has said. I understand that things slip but this is beyond that in my view. Also what Charlie is saying is different than what DailyTech is saying.

I would like to reread the HKEPC article. Do you have a link?

It is not just Charlie. HKEPC and DailyTech also provided similar stories: first QC part will not be "128b FP / enhanced IPC" (what most people here consider the 'K8L'), but 'K8' (think Rev G) based.

Do you have links for them? IIRC, they used the inq story as their src...
