1. A Citigroup analyst says that AMD will delay its launch of the Barcelona quad-core Opteron processor from July until October and that the move will hurt the company’s earnings.
   
   

   Quote:

   "Barcelona is generally viewed to be AMD's best opportunity to stem server share loss to Intel. While AMD's recent notebook win at Toshiba may balance any negative revenue implications to our current model, Barcelona's delay has negative implications for AMD's gross margin," Yeung wrote.

3. I REALLY hope this is another analyst talking out his a$$, because I was really looking forward to the Phenom X4 chips (I want to build an 8 core dual socket rendering system).

6. I'd rather see AMD do this new CPU "right" before they do it "soon." They (AMD) need a winner, and we need continued competition in the CPU battle.

    Operating Systems are a very different type of product from CPUs. There is competition in the CPU market, not in the OS market.
