Deutsch/German:
Amato, EMEA Sales & Marketing Technical Director von AMD, hat der italienischen Seite Hardware Upgrade ein Interview gegeben. AMD hatte bisher offiziell nur Termine des Barcelona bekannt gegeben. Amato redet aber über die Desktop-Variante des K10, genannt Phenom. Interessant ist vor allem folgende Aussage:

Quoted

"As for Opteron solutions, we have already made public the release date which is in September. At that time we will launch the new processors of the Barcelona family. As for the Phenom processors for desktops, the first samples of Phenom FX CPUs will be available by the end of the year, while the remaining versions of the family will arrive by March 2008."

Demnach wird es erste Samples zum Jahresende nur vom "Phenom FX" geben (wie beim Athlon auch steht das "FX" für die schnellsten Prozessoren). Die restlichen Phenom-Prozessoren kommen also erst im März 2008. Dazu passt auch, dass AMD in diesem Jahr noch einen neuen Athlon 64 X2 auf den Markt bringen soll.

Da Intel bereits zum Jahresende mit den neuen "Penryn"-Prozessoren am Markt vertreten sein wird, ist für AMD zu hoffen, dass der Phenom ein echtes Highlight wird.

Therefore, there will be the first samples to the end of the year only from "Phenom FX" (as with the Athlon the "FX" stands also for the quickest processors). The remaining Phenom processors come only in March, 2008. In addition also fits that AMD should still put on the market a new Athlon 64 X2 this year.

Because Intel will be already represented to the end of the year with the new "Penryn" processors in the market, is to be hoped for AMD that of the Phenom a real highlight becomes.
