Although the demonstration of processors Agena FX will takes place with the announcement of r600 in next weeks, mass deliveries of AMD server's processors is planned to only in the end of summer. Moreover, to the end of 2007 the fraction of processors generation k10 in AMD production will not exceed 20% .The low quantity of k10 processor can be explained with the large crystal area made with four core processors, which does not allow to reduce the prime cost.
Associates with the reference to the server equipment producers reported that the mass accessibility of processors Barcelona would be impossible up to the fourth quarter 2007. Accordingly, the servers producers prepare to begin the deliveries of products on base Of Barcelona only at the end of this or in the beginning of following year.
Associate asserts that four core processor Agena FX and Barcelona will have TDP not more than 95 W. Although we did not doubt, that the substantial part of corresponding processors models will have an energy consumption level below 95 W, But AMD here can release processors with TDP level 120-125 W. In any case, now processors with such thermal characteristics are present in AMD production. However, if AMD succeeds to use TDP 95w for its four core processors with 2.9 GHz frequency, this will be bonus. Let us note that processors generation k10 can not immediately get the frequencies 2.9 GHz.
