Im not sure where you got lost your comment doesnt make sense other than stating the obvious. How does that relate to what was said?
I think I understand but your comments dont really work since I dont think we know the Penryn's brand name. I guess I should have compared Shangai (Phenom) to Penryn.
Phenom / Phenom FX will be the brand name for top end desktop parts based on K10 @ 65nm. Barcelona is the code name that refers to the server parts based on K10; it is also widely used as the codename for the family of products based on K10 @ 65nm (i.e. how "Conroe" (Desktop codename) is used and how "Penryn" (Mobile codename) is used). Shangai is the server part codename for the 45nm shrink of K10 I believe and it is also widely used as the codename for the family of products based on the 45nm version of K10.
Thanks HopJokey. I think everyone is getting Phenom Confused with Barcelona. Its in the K10 family so even if 2.0 ghz comes out then K10 Barcelona was released.
Phenom is the chip that AMD was touting as the Intel Killer and that chip might come out in Sept but might get pushed back into 2008. The problem is when everyone reads K10 they think the Phenom is coming.
This is bad because this basically means to me AMD wont have a Conroe answer for at least 4 months still for us on the desktop.
Heck even Im starting to get confused.
