Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which originally was scheduled to launch its dual-core Opteron processor in the third quarter of this year, may advance the launch to the middle of the second quarter, according to sources at Taiwan server makers.
In the second quarter, the sources believe that AMD will launch its dual-core Opteron 200 and 800 series processors, with the respective codenames Italy and Egypt, for servers that incorporate two or more processors.
In addition, AMD’s Opteron 100 series is expected to hit the market in the third quarter, the sources added.
AMD declined to confirm the news but indicated that the release date should be some time in the middle of this year as originally planned. AMD also plans to begin offering certifications for its Pacifica virtualization technology to software developers and systems service providers from April, according to the company. “Pacifica” will be integrated into AMD’s complete lineup of client and server processors in the first half of 2006.
