Too bad, I was hoping AMD could deliver, not that I'm an AMD fan, but it would have kept Intel on their toes. Notice how rumors of Intel delaying their 45 nano chips are starting to fly.

I absolutely do not care that Phenom is delayed, in the sense that I was never going to buy one... They are junk.... A Q6600 owns them badly, especially when overclocked, something Phenom can't do worth a $*@!

What I do care about, is a lack of competition, allowing intel to screw around, which is exactly what they seam to be doing now =0

AMD doing their namesake honor again:

Another Mayor Delay.

How the heck do they managed against Intell for so long.
One of the greatest Mysteries in Life

Software workarounds will always provide penalties even though engineers try their hardest not to have any performance penalties. The correct way, is fix the problem in hardware. If this can not be done, trash it and move on to the next model, but do not forget problems that happened in the past.

I think AMD should trash this core and move the R&D team to the next core release, so the next core release can come out on time or sooner. Before the next core release, AMD should create a revised version of the X2 processor to include SSE5 instruction set, SDK to help programmers convert to SSE5 easily and at the same time include backwards capability to SSE3, use 65 nm fabrication process, and provide extreme over clocking close to 4 GHz or higher.

It's a shame.

It's been over six months now that we keep hearing nothing but bad news of AMD.

Without AMD there will be no competition, and I fear AMD's chances of survival are becoming lower and lower day by day...

God help AMD (and me :) ).
