An official from Advanced Micro Devices said at a conference that the chipmaker will unveil its long-anticipated quad-core processors code-named Barcelona in September or October, which may be considered as another delay by many observers and customers of the world’s second largest maker of microprocessors.

A news-story at Fudzilla web-site claims that Ed Fisher, vice president of marketing at AMD, said at Digital Consumer Channel conference in Croatia that quad-core AMD Opteron microprocessors code-named Barcelona will “come” in September or October, which is later than the company was expected to deliver its new server processors featuring new-generation micro-architecture.

Earlier AMD’s chief financial officer Robert Rivet was reported to have said that quad-core AMD Opteron processors would be introduced in July or August. Some companies familiar with the original launch schedule of AMD’s code-named Barcelona processor have also indicated that they expected to have servers running AMD’s quad-core chips in July.

Quad-core AMD Opteron processors code-named Barcelona are based on the company’s next-generation micro-architecture and will be produced using 65nm process technology. Among the highlights of AMD’s new chips the manufacturer lists shared 2MB L3 cache, 128-bit floating point units (FPU), SSE4A instructions, support for dual-channel DDR2 memory and other innovations.

AMD’s public relations officials did not respond to emails seeking for comments.

Once again all the "experts" are wrong. Barcelona is shipping in August as promised.

You'd think IT websites would check their facts before talking crap all the time.
