AMD delays Phenom 9700 into Q2 2008

[maroon1]

Contrary to its earlier statements, AMD has now revealed that its 2.4GHz quad-core Phenom 9700 and 2.6GHz Phenom 9900 have both been delayed until the second quarter of 2008. AMD hasn't said how this will impact the introduction of the 2.8GHz and 3GHz parts that were originally projected for late in Q2, but these will almost certainly be delayed as well.

How come tomshardware.com has the 9700 on their benchmarks?

How come tomshardware.com has the 9700 on their benchmarks?

And Anandtech.com has 9900 on their benchmarks

Those are just samples.

still has the bug, so what is the point of OCing it if it has a chance of crashing ur system at full load? Plus, i hate it how the BIOS fix decreases performance.

i can hold out until the 9700 n 9900 come out.

if it decreases performance can't you overclock it back to fix it? or odes it work another way

The 9700 and 9900 were pushed back at the request of the OEM market. The tri-cores have been pulled forward for the same reason.

From what AMD has said, it has nothing to with bugs. It has everything to do with what the system manufacturers have asked for.

I thought they cut it back to produce Energy Efficient ones?
