Robert AMD (AMD) remains confident that the quad-core Barcelona chip for enterprise servers, due at the middle of this year, will deliver a 40 percent performance boost over what's available today – an advantage Intel (INTC) won't be able to match. Does Baghdad Bob come to mind? Intel is committing suicide at the gates of the city!! What do you expect AMD to say right now?

AMD will begin shopping the Barcelona chip around to customers in the April-June time frame (so, in about three months). "shopping it around?" Allen said Q4 2007 will be when the first real impact of Barcelona comes through in AMD's financial statements. Ah, Q4 impact. Sounds like a Q3 launch. Maybe late Q3. So AMD's financial statements in Q1, Q2, and Q3 are going to look like... (I think we all know) will deliver a 40 percent performance boost over what's available today Certainly not overall. In some specialized benchmark or two, maybe. Ah: When I pressed him on what exactly that 40 percent includes, it was slightly less clear; he mentioned a number of metrics, including performance per watt. ROFL.
