Today it became known that the massive supply of 45 nm processors Yorkfield with four core was reported from 20 January to February or even March.
The reason for such delay are clear : First, Phenom processors can not make serious competition to 65 nm processor Kentsfield. Now AMD is taking measures to enhance the attractiveness of Phenom by reducing the price , Phenom 9500 (2.2 GHz) has been observed in United States at $ 199. This is 20% cheaper than the wholesale price indicated in the official AMD price list .
Second, the stocks of 65 nm processor Kentsfield is quite high, and it is better to sell them before presenting faster and less hot Yorkfield processors with the same prices.
Let us note that in 12 November Intel company introduced the processor Core 2 Extreme QX9650 (3.0 GHz), which belongs to Yorkfield family.
Please note that the supply of dual-core 45 nm processors Wolfdale will begin immediately after the announcement in 20 January. Related Products :
