Tentative Launch Time-Frames for AMD 45nm Desktop CPUs Tabled
A lot has been said about the launch schedules of AMD's upcoming 45nm desktop processors over the last fortnight. While the company itself slated its 45nm desktop CPU range to kick-off on January 8 2009, skeptics think otherwise saying it could take longer for AMD to have sufficiently stocked up inventories in retail channels.
HKEPC compiled a list of tentative order availability. time-frames for the 45nm CPUs sourced from PC manufacturers, which shows that the company launches Phenom II X4 940 on Jan. 8, while most of the product launches are concentrated in the months of February and April, 2009. Starting those months, channel vendors will be able to place bulk orders for those processors, to stock up inventories. Also pictured is the die-shot of AMD Deneb, and a picture showing the differences between the AM3 and AM2+ pin-grids (AM3 on the leftHS, AM2+ on rightHS).

Do you guys think we can expect much improved tpd from this family, maybe a a64x2 @2.2 25W ? :laugh:
There's a much more complete table at The Inquirer...
www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/16/phenom-ii-athlon-x4-oh
TDPs and cache levels included. This isn't "we guess there will be 4x512KB per core", it's more of a "we're sure" article.
Funny how the tables look so much alike...
@DaC when did you go from the X2 3800+ I sent ya to Intel :p
I was expecting about 45W for those anyway Q3 is just too far aheadLoL
Well it was a long time ago in fact
I lost count how many times I built and rebuilt my pc this year :roll:
I'm sticking with q6600 for now until Phenom x2 shows what it can do :D
But I also want to build a low energy PC that isn't a turtle... my hope is on the new amd line. :ohwell:
Tough choice go with 940 or 945 ? AM3 requires new memory (DDR3) wich i do not have.
So yeah, it would be Phenom II X4 945 for me and I would expect it to be less then my current i7 920 based system,....but OC to the moon ;)
If they are due out in Jan/Feb retail where is W1zz demo sample ; 0I may stand corrected per this I think the AM3 is the Left side of the picture.
