Scrooge919 writes "An article on ZDNet discusses AMD's plan for the successor to Opteron -- the K9. The biggest feature will be that it contains multiple cores. The K9 is currently slated for the second half of 2005, which would be less than 3 years after the Opteron shipped."

Chips based on the K9 architecture will likely be released--at least in sample quantities--by the second half of 2005, Weber said. AMD engineer Randy Allen is overseeing the project.

Note to marketing department: New "K9" chip promises to be "a real dog".
