3 Barcelona chip types to be released...

[Viditor]

It appears that the 3 levels of Barcelona will be:

1. SP (Standard Power)...The SP (95W) Barcelona processors will launch on Sept. 10 at 2.0-GHz. They'll be released in high clock-speed versions in the fourth quarter of this year.

2. HE (Highly Efficient)...The 68-W, low power HE Barcelonas will launch on Sept. 10 at 1.9-GHz. They'll also ramp to high speed in Q4.

3. SE (Special Edition or High Performance)...The 120-W SE Barcelonas won't launch until the fourth quarter, but when they do, they'll ship at speeds of 2.3-GHz and higher.

Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. Nice to hear from you again!

Now I can't wait for the benches to come out on Barcelona so this speculation game can end.

Cheers, mate!
I've been working on 6 projects simultaneously, so I haven't had much time to post.

I agree with you on the benches...looks like we'll get the first round in the next 2 weeks though. Fortunately for me, I'm far too busy to count the days right now, but it should be good.

It appears that AMD is buying more time to tune-up and extract more speed from SE. Yield must be below target. AMD has to put something out now for back-to-school shopping.

Actually, SE is the one with the least demand.

I think you're forgetting that these are socket 1207 server chips. The Agena (AM2+ desktop chips) will be out in Q4...

yes, but there should be plenty of people with 4x4's who want an 8x8 on sept 11!

Here is a link to the article text. Nothing against the OP, but the original link only led to PowerPoint graphics.

Many thanks for the correction, mate. The graphic was the slide that was previously under NDA (according to the article). It's in the article and I copied and pasted the wrong link.

Cheers!

You should have put a smiley face there...4x4 had negligible sales.
BTW, I think you meant 8x4 (there will still be only 4 GPU slots with the 8 cores).
