AMD Cancels Certain High-Performance Quad-Core Chips, New Products Only Due in Q3
 

Advanced Micro Devices has once again rescheduled release dates of its quad-core AMD Phenom microprocessors with decent performance. With new central processing units (CPUs) only due in the second half of the year, the world’s second largest supplier of x86 chips will have to rely only on entry-level and mainstream chips in the whole first half of 2008.

According to a news-story from HKEPC web-site that cites sources among mainboard makers, quad-core AMD Phenom 9700 (2.40GHz) and 9900 (2.60GHz) microprocessors have been cancelled and will not be released. Instead, AMD plans to launch AMD Phenom 9750 (2.40GHz) in May or June and to release AMD Phenom 9950 (2.60GHz) sometime in Q3.
