Quad-core AMD roadmap
The VR-Zone site has interesting information about AMD quad-core processors.
According to the news, the very first quad-core AMD processors are expected to appear in the second half of 2007, all of which will fit into AMD's new socket, the Socket AM2, and will therefore work with DDRII memory. It is clear from the table that, not surprisingly, the first four-core instances will strengthen the server front. For desktop versions, if all goes according to plan, we will have to wait until the first quarter of 2008.
Itinerary transposed into Hungarian from the VR-Zone site:
