AMD's Director of Business Development for Consumer in Europe, Middle East and Africa, Vincenzo Pistillo has confirmed that AMD plans to ship hundreds of thousands of Phenom CPUs in 2007.


We know that the number is larger than a few hundred thousand, but smaller than a million, and at this point AMD doesn't expect any shortages. The CPUs should be announced at some point next week and they will be widely available.


Dresden FAB is up and running and producing these CPUs and there is no expectations of any shortages. So, whatever AMD launches will be readily available.

ah``.. no wonder barcelona in serious shortage during its launch~
major productions concentrated on phenom.. i guess`

few hundred 'k' units for worldwide launch.. that seem to be too little..

lol RTFAplz.

Phenom = PhenomenalPhailure in terms of supply. It's like the PE cards all over again.

hmm`, not sure whether... few hundreds thousands units.. are little or not since it's a pre-launch productions..`
might be five hundred thousands -> 500,000 units... or 6 , 7 ,8..???

daily? weekly? monthly? yearly? there's no exact manufacture figure. d`oh~!

any benchmark of this phenomenal yet? or mayb i'l juz wait for penryl?

just how long people have to wait laaa... intel keep pawning them before they even launch!

its not the matter of pawning or not. maybe AMD got different marketing target for their product. not everyone will buy highend procs or other hardwares. just like they did to their ATI gc lines...

Yep, I think this is the benchmark you're talking about

The Core 2 Q in this benchmark is a little handicapped at 230 instead of 266 FSB

OWH gawd...why does anyone even read what the FUD says anyway? Look, Phenom maybe cool but in comparison to what? A soon to be phased out stepping of C2Q? Come on man. New generation pit it against the new generation, not some bumped up front side bus stepping version of good old Conroe. Let's see what they have to say when Penryn really hits the streets. And as for marketing strategy and whatchamacallit targeted group, weak excuse judging by the last few quarterly financial reports

amd and intel uses different strategies in marketing...zzz

and what would that be? Do share with us your insight

phenom is launching tomorrow is it? 19th of nov or later?

19nov 2007 cannot wait to see how it perform

really looking forward...

if not high perform, hopefully can giv some value to money thing...

i have always been supportive of amd since i dun do overclocking (heck, as if we can see any difference wen we compare both intel and amd side by side at stock speed) and i dun think i wanna pay extra (much extra) for the stuff that i do not utilize

it's good if phenom can win intel in term of performance this time round, but i rather they lose out a bit but give good pricing for their processors

Actually there is ever since Conroe (Core 2 Dou) was release. If not, why did you think AMD priced their CPU so low? If it was same at stock speed, the price would have been same too.

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy AMD (without user like you, AMD would probably closed down long ago). But at the same time, we shouldn't be ignorant of what's really going on out there. To say that both CPU compared at stock speed has no difference is very ignorant.

Teh fact that non OC usually liked intel and OC'ers liked AMD which means that your statement that you liked AMD because you don't like to overclock is really weird...

oc'ers like intel more see the pentium e series....can push until so high...but some like amd because amd price more attractive and oc a bit to get decent performance he memang pelik
