Even before AMD announces its next generation K10 architecture, AMD CEO Hector Ruiz started talking about his company's move to 45nm at a recent shareholder meeting.
Ruiz is quoted by The Inquirer as saying AMD "will introduce 45 nanometre chips in the middle of 2008." AMD's 45 nanometre node is believed to make use of silicon-on-insulator technology, much like all of the company's recent manufacturing processes.
Intel, on the other hand, will introduce its first 45 nanometre processors later this year, but the chip giant has yet to name a date. Rumours have suggested that the new Penryn processors, which are based on the new 45nm process, may be unveiled as early as July.
AMD also found itself defending its silence on upcoming products it is planning to release because, over the past few months, pressure has been mounting on AMD.
Consumers have been very vocal about this because AMD has been uncharacteristically quiet. Its fans want to know what is going on, as they've been waiting for new products ever since Intel introduced its Core 2 Duo processors last July. Ruiz said AMD would be more vocal in the future, but he also mentioned that it costs the company money to do that.

its just a case of all the nerds jumping on the new stock the min it comes out so they can say ohh look i have the quadzillion core cpu blah blah blah.
them quad cores probably wont have there full power used for years to come even duial core hasnt been fully tested yet especially in games. |
actually quad cores are more usefull in servers than meant for gaming. Not too mention their not meant JUST for gaming. But also think of this. even if a game isnt using both cores, windows still is. so while the game is using the whole of one core windows still has the other one to play with running stuff in the background. |

2008? Hahahahha! Screw AMD, they are going bankrupt anyway.
Intel is heading there this year, if they haven't already! 
Quad Cores is a bit overkill for gaming, yes, but they certainly are futureproof. First game to really take advantage of them will be Alan Wake either late this year or next year.

I may be an AMD smut but jesus christ. My 10 year old cousin that doesn't even know what a CPU is can tell you they need to get their shit together stop putting out BS redesign their structure and quit fiddling with shit. X2's are good and all but why the fuck bother when intel's just beat them into the ground. Their losing more money putting those out than they are just shutting up and coming up with something new. |
