TG Daily - AMD announces 6-core and 12-core Opteron processors To keep this short, they are basically going to keep up with their current position, a little behind Intel, but aren't going to gain any ground. The article was all relating to their server market, 45nm Shanghai core are expected to be out by Q1 2009. Second half 2009 their six core Istanbul's will be out, for socket F systems. Then way off around 2010 they are planning another 6 and a 12 core unit on a new platform, but thats a long ways off to make any real estimates.
