_____________
AMD schedules to launch two 2-way Opteron (Barcelona) server processors on September 10 this year, according to sources at server makers.

The Opteron 2348 and 2350 will have core frequencies of 1.9GHz and 2.0GHz and will be priced at US$320 and US$390 in 1000-unit tray quantities, respectively. In October, AMD will launch the 2.2GHz Opteron 2354 with 95W TDP and a price of US$610 in 1000-unit tray quantities, however this processor should actually appear in the channel later this month, noted the sources.

The Opteron 2300 series will include Opteron 2340, 2350, 2352, 2354, 2356, 2358 and 2360. Models at frequencies higher than 2.0GHz are expected to launch in the fourth quarter, according to an earlier announcement by AMD.

you see the prices on these??? They wont be worth it even if they only barely beat the intel power houses.

these are 45nm yes?

Penryn drops right after barcelona....Good luck AMD

..... Barcelona is 65nm and these are SERVER processors for 2 way computers. Given that the 2210 HE (1.8ghz) version of the Opteron is ~$174 according to AMD's web site $320 for a High Efficiency Opteron quadcore at 1.9ghz with a NEW Architecture is a good deal. Not only that the Opteron quadcore is a drop in for those that are using current opteron Socket F motherboards (Bios update only). Personally I see this as a good deal for what it is.

It is likely that the barcelona that comes out later as a desktop processor (Agena/Phenom X4) will be priced around ~$200-300 for a 2.0ghz version but then again we will see when it comes out on the AM2/AM2+ platform..

The 45nm version of this will be called Shanghai and comes out next year.

Penryn is meant to go against the Agena processors while Harpertown(Penryn based Xeon) is what barcelona should be worried about.. but we shall see in the coming months how much Harpertown's improvements will help in the server arena and how well Barcelona does in helping AMD's performance/power in the server market.
