AMD May Speed Up Things
For AMD, last months have been filled with delays, just as if Intel's supremacy on the CPU market and their ever-increasing lead were not enough, but now, the sun seems to shine, just a bit, for AMD. After announcing a delayed driver to support Quad-GPU Crossfire X, or a new delay to the quad-core Phenoms, it was my pleasure to find out that the mid-range Phenoms should arrive a bit earlier than expected...
According to undisclosed inside sources, the 9550, 9650 and 9750 processors from the Phenom series should be sent to the market about two months from now, in early to mid April. These chips will be free from the TLB bug that caused delays over and over again until now, since they seem to belong to the B3 revision.
Unfortunately, not even unofficial information about the high-end Phenom 9950 is available, and I really don't want to think about for how long are they going to delay it again. In my opinion, AMD should concentrate on taking back the market share lost in favor of Intel's entry-level and mid-range processors, and leave the high-end market battle for a bit later.
As expected, there is no official position from AMD regarding this matter, so I guess we should consider the April releases only rumors for now, and keep our eyes on the news channels for official information regarding this matter...
