Not the most exciting since I don't run servers and stuff, but for all of you server people, I'm sure this will come as good news.

"In the second quarter, the sources believe that AMD will launch its dual-core Opteron 200 and 800 series processors, with the respective codenames Italy and Egypt, for servers that incorporate two or more processors."

There's a quote from Custom PC, who found it out through sources at the Taiwan producers. At least we know they are confident enough with the design, etc, to be at least releasing them on the official release date, and any earlier must mean they found less problems than they thought they would. Great stuff AMD

Too bad they won't be having any dual-core desktop CPU's anytime soon...

 

[winterfreshpwnz]

Yeah, that would be so much frigging ownage. I wouldn't be able to afford it, but it wouldn't be a bad upgrade for the future.

 

[alvino]

Yeah...it would be worth it in the future.

I'd love Dual Dualie Xeons at 2.8Ghz with the 2Meg Cache... [drools] maybe if I get my Job... maybe if I get my Jobs...

 

[alvino]
