Fresh road map intel already allowed us to estimate, how rapid must be the passage of intel processors to the progressive architecture core, representatives of which are the processors conroe. There is no doubt, that the supporters AMD also would want to obtain this forecast , especially because in 2007 will present processors with the new architecture (K8L) socket AM2+.
Our associate with refrence to the data from new road map AMD. It becomes known that already in the first quarter of 2007 the portion of processors socket AM2 will reach 95%. Processors socket F (series athlon 64 FX-7x, for example) in first half of 2007 will compose 5% of AMD production. The processors socket 939 must be abolished in the outgoing year. As we more than once noted, the deliveries of processors opteron 1xx socket 939 can be prolonged prior to the middle of 2008, so the processors with this type will not disappear soon.
In the third quarter of 2007 AMD will present 0.065 m processors with new name, relating to the promising generation K8L. They will have higher specific performance and design concept Of socket AM2+. Already in the fourth quarter of 2007 the portion of these processors will reach 20%, and toward to the end first of the block 2008 it will completely exceed 60%. Is possible to recognize that the rates of expansion socket AM2+ will be sufficiently high, and this is completely possible since for AMD are necessary more attractive processors for the successful competitive activity with Intel.
