Hi, I've been reading up on AMD's upcoming lineup and had a quick question. I cannot seem to recall when the Opteron's, both 1207 and AM3, are being released. I know their codename isn't Opteron, so whatever it is, when are they coming out...the same time as the desktop Phenoms?

They will be called Opterons (codename barcelona) for socket F. They will be 2way and 4way processors, tho they can prolly work alone they would prolly be too expensive (for same ghz) to buy a single piece compared with 1way/phenoms. Starting with 23xx (2 way socket F) and 83xx (4 way ) quad opterons will appear in late August/early Sept.

Later, in November, Socket AM3 version (1 way cpu) will appear, at same time I think Phenoms (non-server quads) will be released, as well as higher freq 2 way and 4way opterons.

This is based on this article: http://www.dailytech.com/AMD+P...Launch/article8185.htm (opteron info)
