AMD just released a few roadmaps to its OEM partners this week. The earliest partner roadmap from May claimed we would see 65nm Brisbane Athlon 64 processors in Q1’07. The most recent update says we will actually see some limited quantity shipments of 65nm Athlon 64 chips in December 2006. This forecast is actually slightly ahead of the announcements made just a few weeks ago in previous roadmaps and press briefings of Fab 36.
The good news is that the 65nm will be available for the AM2 and will not require a future socket. It’s a long time to wait, but I am anxious to see 65nm AMD in action. Just look at what 65nm is doing for Intels. Check out the full news post at DailyTech.
