wbmw, smooth - Perhaps, but not necessarily. "Barcelona" will come in dual-core form as well.

I call BS on this explanation.

The K8L is AMD's future, pure and simple. If there was a
working K8L in that demo box AMD's chief stereo salesman
would have been swinging from the chandeliers shouting
that at the top of his voice instead of whining about Intel
using SPEC2000 benchmarks (sheesh!).

Re: Perhaps, but not necessarily. "Barcelona" will come in dual-core form as well. And there have been some signs of those floating around.

Oh Come On, Paul....

AMD has branded their current generation product "the AMD Opteron(tm) Dual Core", and that's exactly what their press release refers to.

You'd have to sink to a new level of AMD fanboism to believe that they would secretly sneak in a Barcelona demo, and only refer to it ambiguously under the name they gave to their previous generation product.
