大家的2407看来危险了

Barcelon延期似乎已成定局。

Speaking of AMD, we were originally hoping as many others that Computex 2007 would have been the launch event for Barcelona and Agena. Unfortunately, this will not occur and the best we can hope for at this time is a Barcelona release in the latter part of Q3 at best and Agena following up in late Q4 or possibly sliding to Q1 2008 based on recently received information. The motherboards and chipsets to support this new processor family are starting to take shape but they are far from optimized at this point with early production level silicon just now being made available for the various suppliers who will offer products at launch. Our first look at the RD790 chipset from AMD that supports the new AM2+ socket, HyperTransport 3.0, and DDR2-1066 was interesting to say the least but it is too early to tell what the true performance potential of this technology is until we are able to test it with final silicon.

Those hoping for nail biting, teeth clenching battles should apply elsewhere - the CPU wars these days is a one horse race. If reports out of Taiwan are to be believed, initial performance results from AMD's Barcelona fail to impress and we've got at least a quarter before the race can even potentially get competitive.

看起来真的是too little, too late

买2407就不要用AMD~是吗？

谁又赌2407了

我都忘了2407这回事了:p

唉，这种事情……那简直就是一定的了

危险的不止是2407

AMD quad core delay caused Cray warning

Chips are down

By INQUIRER staff: Tuesday 05 June 2007, 15:22
A CRAY REP told the Dow Jones newswire that the reason for the delay of its supercomputer is because of a postponement of a quad core processor made by AMD.

He told the wire that the postponement was probably a brief postponement.

But it does mean that while AMD may deliver the quad chips in the fourth quarter of this year, Cray won't draw any revenues until the first quarter of next year.

Cray's share price fell sharply yesterday but recovered slightly today to stand at $7.32. AMD's share price is $14.02 and has shown a steady decline over the last 10 days. µ

AMD, Cray and reporter in Barcelona caper
Colonel Mustard in Q4 with a processor

An uncomfortable war of speculation over the ship date for AMD's four-core Barcelona processor has broken out between the chipmaker, supercomputer vendor Cray and the Dow Jones newswire.

Cray started this mess yesterday by saying that component delays would cause it to miss the planned fourth quarter ship date for a revamped version of its XT4 supercomputer. The only problem was that Cray refused to disclose which component in particular had caused the delay and failed to specify which version of AMD's upcoming four-core family – Barcelona or Budapest – it will use in the new XT4s. AMD has long said that Barcelona will ship in the Summer, while the lower-end Budapest is slated to arrive in the fourth quarter.

Wall Street went into panic this morning when the Dow Jones printed a pair of stories "confirming" that a Barcelona delay was behind Cray's issues. In one story, the newswire reported:

    The part that is delayed is the four-core processor being made for the supercomputer by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), Steve Conway, a Cray spokesman, said in an interview.

    "Its postponement, at least according to everything we know right now, is a brief postponement," Conway said.

In another story, the newswire reported:

    On Monday supercomputer maker Cray Inc. (CRAY) issued a revenue warning for the year, citing a delay in the availability of a component, which analysts said is likely the Barcelona server chip. Meanwhile, on Tuesday Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung said in a research report out of Taiwan's Computex Trade show, that "several sources," including server vendors, distributors and motherboard makers, confirmed Barcelona will be delayed to September/October from June/July.

Those of you interested in this kind of stuff will want to note that Cray won't be using the Barcelona chips in the XT4s. The systems will run on the lower-end, latter Budapest chips. So, that's one issue taken care of.

Cray, however, continues to leave the world in a mystery over what is in fact causing the XT4 delays - processor, memory or what? (Even though we all know it's really the processor.) The company's investor relations spokesman Victor Chynoweth told us that his colleague public relations spokesman Steve Conway could not comment on the XT4 issue because "he doesn't know what's going on."

"Steve can't confirm that one way or the other," Chynoweth said.

You have to love it when war breaks out between spokesmen.

More crucially, you must be wondering what the heck is happening to the precious Barcelona that's meant to revive AMD's attack against Intel. In the past, AMD executives have said both that Barcelona will ship by "mid-year" and "in the Summer." If we're talking July, we're talking the same thing. September, however, hardly counts as mid-year.

According to our sources, AMD will in fact ship Barcelona later than it hoped under the most optimistic circumstances. So, that means the chip will not flow in volume by mid-year. Instead, we're looking anywhere from late August through September. ®

消息1：我们本来期待 巴塞在Computex 台北 2007发布，现在看来我们能报的最好希望是巴塞要延期到 07 3季度末，而Agena 则要延期到年末或08年初，而配套主板也远未成熟。我们看到了很有趣的AMD RD790 芯片组，支持 new AM2+ socket, HyperTransport 3.0, and DDR2-1066

那些希望看到势均力敌的战斗的人恐怕要失望了---近来的CPU大战更像是千里走单骑的表演。如果台湾方面的消息可信的话，巴塞的初始性能无法令人留下印象，而我们至少还要等上一个季度，比赛才可能有点看头===仅仅是可能。

消息3
因为AMD的4和处理器延期，Cray也不能出新的超级机，股票应声大跌
消息4 主要内容差不多 不过给出了批量上市的日期 八月底到九月（乐观情况下）
