techarp.com The Phenom John reaffirmed that both the Agena (quad-core) and Kuma (dual-core) processors of the upcoming Phenom family will see the light of day by the end of the year 2007. That should help assuage the frustrations of long-suffering AMD fans and investors who recently had to put up with yet another delay of the Quad-Core Opteron (Barcelona). As you recall, AMD emphatically promised the world that the Barcelona would be out by August, 2007 but eventually delayed that to a September 10 launch. Although there are reports that ODMs are having trouble sourcing even 2 GHz Barcelona processors, John told us that Phenoms will have no problem delivering the higher clock speeds reported by various sources. For certain, the Phenoms will be capable of running at clock speeds higher than Quad-Core Opteron (Barcelona) processors. Unlike the multiprocessor-capable Barcelona, the Phenom (Agena & Kuma) processors will not require any coherent HTT channels. This, plus the less stringent requirements of a desktop processor, will allow AMD to easily deliver the higher clock speeds reported here. ---------- Of course, Petz knows better. He had a vision or something.
