AMD to Produce Hundreds of Thousands of Quad Core Processors to Meet Demand

zekrahminator · Oct 20, 2007

AMD recently admitted that it was not quite prepared when they launched quad-core processors earlier this year. Even after the delays, there simply were not enough AMD quad core offerings to go around. And so, to make up for that, they've announced that they're going to make a lot more quad core processors this quarter. The official statement by AMD:

While our initial production ramp of quad-core Opterons has been slower than anticipated, we expect quad-core Opteron will be widely available by the middle of this quarter; and, we expect to ship hundreds of thousands of quad-core processors this quarter into the server and desktop segments.

well i dont see intel with any chip lags, AMD are certainly pushing the right buttons at the moment to have sold out of quad core processors!! well done AMD

But thats not very hard if, by their own admittance.....they didnt manufacture many!

It will all be over once the Phenoms come

haha, i would like it to be so too, but at this time its really hard to say for sure
Intel also got plenty cpu's to come and they aren't planning on delaying them :laugh:

Well, I'm sure everyone knows that Intel will always have an advantage over AMD. They just have too much money and resources to fall behind. I'm surprised that AMD is still hanging in there, says a lot about them. Hopefully they'll meet the demand for our sake.

Im surprised by this news. I wasnt sure their Quad FXs (yeah, not really quad core) and Opterons were in such demand. IT was never reported on this site if they were..

wiak · Oct 21, 2007

i will take watts over preformance anyway if the preformance is good enight for me
lets hope they will have Phenom X4s when they lounch, i will gladly get one as soon as they get in stock with amd chipset based mb

quad fxs was a waste om time i think, its just a show off, money is where the Phenom X4 AM2+ is, i have heard they will release Phenom FX's for AM2+ to ^^

there isnt many quadcores out atm, only Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 for us humans with not so high monkey count

My Next System:
AMD Phenom X4 9600 AM2+
AMD RX780 AM2+ Motherboard
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Vista Performance Gold 4GB Dual Channel (all ready have)
WDC Raptor 74GB 16MB Cache (might get another one in RAID0)

cant wait for Phenom X4 :rockout:

Although when you think about it AMD's basically only got one direction to go, UP

I want an unlocked Phenom.

sam0t · Oct 21, 2007

Been bit out of the loop, but does anybody have an idea when AMD moves into DDR3 ? Thinking of skipping the whole DDR2 age, Intel is allready has DDR3 support if I understood correctly.

But there will also be Yorkfield Quads at 45nm available on the shelves in just a few weeks that allegedly are capable of 4.6Gig on air! and they start at a price around the current Q6600 range.

No they wont, if they oversaturate the market it will just drop the price. They will only make as many available as needed to keep sales going and keep prices at an optimum.
