AMD representatives try by all forces to preserve their word, declaring, that the announcement of barcelona processors will takes place in the third quarter, as it was planned. In principle, in this direction there is no delay, and formally the announcement Of barcelona on September is not possible to consider as delay. The announcement of desktop processors phenom is originally planed in the third quarter, and now the announcement of several models was assigned to the fourth quarter, whereas majority will be released only in the following year.
As reported AMD Vice President , Mr. Kevin knox, company try by all forces to avoid delay in the announcement. Barcelona processors and servers solution on their basis will be accessible immediately after the announcement. It is possible to believe in this, since Barcelona models processors will be actively extended during August this year.
Mr. Knox cites as an example situation with the announcement of intel clovertown processors which comprised not more than 10% intel production half year after the announcement. AMD consider that such expansion rates are unacceptable. Obviously, the expansion of barcelona processors will pass more actively. This is regular, precisely with barcelona processors AMD company attempt to recapture from Intel a larger portion of server market, and also to repair its financial position. During July AMD promises to introduce clarity in this question.
