Yesterday during AMD’s Q2’06 earnings conference call, AMD’s President and Chief Operating Officer Dirk Meyer recapped the long term plans for the company. Although the bulk of his comments were already stated in during the June AMD Analyst’s Day, Meyer also added the tidbit that the company plans “to demonstration our next-generation processor core, in a native quad-core implementation, before the end of the year.”
It’s too bad that we will not be able to touch these for ourselves until at least late 2007 though. Since Intels Quad Cores will see the light of day later this year, it would be interesting to see some benchmarks run on AMDs version to see how things compare. Either way, it’s too bad these will not be released closer to Intels date.
