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

i highly doubt it...
they are having problem with getting high clocks on it...

lets just hope it will come out more...
but wanna know you guys will buy it a not??

for ur information, there is no native quad-core by Intel yet, C2Q is juz 2 dual-core joined together its not native quad(tats the mis perception Intel trying to confuse consumer with the marketing again, "i am the 1st to launch quad core", same to the Pentium D during dual core time) the 1st to launch a true native dual core is actually AMD on May 31, 2005 compared to the native from Intel on July 27, 2006. Pricing for processor can be differed even though its the same performance for reason like brand, marketing campaign n so on...

For the comparison of thermal, i dont think it will be much difference,

The TDP numbers for Penryn desktop quad-core parts will be 95 and 130 watts,
with desktop dual-core parts coming in at a 65W TDP.

The TDP numbers for Agena desktop quad-core parts will be 89 and 125 watts,
with desktop dual-core parts coming in at a 45W/65W/89W TDP.

The TDP numbers for 45nm the Xeon will be 50W/80W/120W, depending on clockspeed.
For dual-core, the numbers are 40W/65W/80W.

The TDP numbers for the Barcelona will be 68W/95W/120W, depending on clockspeed.

look at both phenom reviews...one say phenom is cheaper than intel...one say phenom is more expensive...which is which...

Tom's Hardware

Anandtech

whichever it is...it's really a not so happy or encouraging time for AMD as competitor...

that is not truly relevant as only a small percentage of users would truly be able to utilise the general nature and strengths of a native quad core. The rest would be concerned about it's clockabillity, usable performance, and energy efficiency. And as to TDP, it is only a general indicator rather then an accurate measure of energy usage. What is more relevant is the general usage current draw of the processor when they conduct ther day to day business and judging by the numbers Anand put forward, it may be quite of a worrying issue. Phenom as a whole may (For now) be doomed from the start unless AMD revises their pricing structure as well as put forward a credible DDR3 performance

v won't actually know which is correct until it really reaches here since some of the review sites had some bias, lets wait till it reach malaysia then v will know =P
