AMD Opteron Due In April

updog writes "Here's an article from Infoworld claiming that the new 64-bit AMD Opteron is ready to launch on April 22. Some of the notable features of the new chip are an address space capable of addressing up to 1 Terabyte of memory, the ability to link up to 8 processors without any external chips, and backwards compatibility with existing 32-bit applications ..." PapaFSmurf, meanwhile, links to a disclaimer-heavy article posted at amdboard.com which says that 64-bit Athlons may arrive in June rather than September as previously expected.

    too bad your information doesn't come based on understanding the joke...

    (hint: "informatinion" is not a word)

    btw, your information, from various tech sites all over the net is as "no shit" as it comes. been around long? it's been the same for every chip generation since the 8088 and yes, of course it is fanboyism, and no, I don't give a shit.
