Phenom II X4 955 and 945 on track for 23rd


A birdy
told us that Athlon X2, the fastest and probably the last of Kuma 65nm based dual-core K10 derived CPUs will launch on the 28th, and not on 23rd as originally planned.

Despite this change we learned that system integrators and OEMs are able to buy these CPUs from distribution as we speak, while the retail launch is strategically delayed for the 28th.

We don't know the reason behind this slight delay, but it might have to do something with strategy, but we fail to find much logic to the five day delay, and it would really surprise us if it didn't have to do something with logistical issues.

Regor, the K10.5 45nm dual-core is still scheduled for June, at least in desktop world.
