Hi folks,
I heard the noise of AMD quad core CPU for sometimes such as Barcelona, K10 Opterron (Server) and K10 Phenom (Desktop). But they never come. I check the retail market almost weekly. Is there any schedule? Or any thing happens?

The Opterons versions will be out first and if you have a Socket 1207 then you will be able to pick one up faster, then a Phenom X4 version on the Socket AM2 which should be released a few weeks after the Opterons Socket 1207 versions.

But your programs and OS has to support the quads to make a difference right? Because my X2 3800 that I purchased when it first came out was only optimized for one game which was Quake 4 and no other program used the dual cores. So basically my CPU ran like a single.

Hi Greatgamer,
Software and OS are really problem. Fortunately I run Linux and Unix OS and Open Source software. They catch up very fast. I'm running dual core CPU sometimes. Most Linux/Unix distro has smp enabled fully utilize the benefit of dual core. I have no idea of the software running on quad core. I'll investigate it later.
