Small preview imageAMD has never been as fast as Intel to adapt new manufacturing processes and even if it may be a disadvantage AMD seems to be able to keep up anyway. Anyhow, the plans for moving on to 65nm technology has been under development for long and has reached a  pretty late stage by now, but we will not see any 65nm processors on the market until 2007. In a roadmap from AMD that was published at HKEPC there are information about two processors with the project name Brisbane and Sparta. The first circuit will use two cores made with 65nm technology and will be launched during the first six months of 2007. Sparta, which is also a 65nm circuit, will not arrive until the last six months of 2007.


”Both 65nm processors will be designed for Socket AM2 form-factor, which means that both will support dual-channel DDR2 memory, but it is unclear what speed-bin. It is unclear which additional technologies – enhanced security code-named Presidio, virtualization named Pacifica, etc. – these chips will support.”
