The K10 part codenamed Barcelona is up and running. It's not ready for launch, but AMD has already got parts ready and working.
We don't have many numbers but at least in specfp_rate2000
Barcelona ends up a bit less than 50 percent faster than Intel quad core
codenamed Kentsfield.
We are quite sure that this is the best score but it
definitely sounds impressive. AMD chaps are very confident that K10
marchitecture and native Quad core is the way to go and Intel will probably
have to pay the price for duct taping its chips. AMD will come to collect in
second half of 2007.
