Sledgehammer on April 22, Opteron in September
AMD said on Friday it was again delaying the release of its next-generation Athlon microprocessor for desktop and mobile personal computers, but is on track with its Opteron version for servers. The 64-bit PC microprocessor, code-named "Clawhammer," will be released in September, and not in the first quarter or early second quarter of this year as the company had said last September. The company cited a difficulty in using new chip design technology but downplayed the significance of the delay. The 64-bit Opteron processor for servers and workstations, code-named "Sledgehammer," will be released on April 22, AMD said.
