AMD denies all rumors of Phenom being delayed
AMD has recently denied the rumor that Phenom would be delayed. AMD says that they will have Phenom released during Q4 2007, despite motherboard manufacturers saying otherwise.
However, any Phenom launch before Q1 2008, according to AMD, will be a mere paper launch, not unlike the HD 2x00 series. Motherboard manufacturers claim that this delay is give AMD enough time to make enough Phenom processors for a heavy AMD fanbase. This is also a move designed to make Phenom more competitive with Penryn.

So it will be launched in Q4 in spite of what mobo manufacturers are saying about it being launched in Q1 2008.
Oh yeah, but we won't have any for you until Q1 2008 though. Launch in 07, arrive in 08.... come on AMD... The "AMD Fan Base" is NOT happy. Where is our Core 2 Duo killer you promised!?! :mad: :banghead:
Of course, I also said that about R600. "When it's done" turned out to be "when it can tie/beat G80"....what a shame.
