AMD's Future Plans!

[Emo]

According to the Inquirer a Russian site has released what it claims is a roadmap of AMD products up to the last quarter of next year and showing Clawhammer scaling to 4000+ using its performance rating figures.
The roadmap, at AMD Now Russia, also claims that the 2200+ Thoroughbred chip, slated for release sometime between mid May and Juine, will be followed by other Thoroughbreds at 2400+ in Q3, and 2600+ in Q4.

Further, the map says that Barton, which has 512K of level two cache, will hit the decks around the time of the Thoroughbred 2600+. debuting at a PR figure of 2800+, followed by a 3000+ during Q1 of next year.

The Clawhammer, AMD's first X86-64 processor, which is expected to be released in October, will arrive with ratings of 3400+, which will morph into 4000+ in Q1 of next year.

AMD will re-brand these chips as Athlons.

But the Clawhammer-S, and we wonder if this is another desktop Claw with 1MB of on-die cache, will not arrive until Q3 of next year using a 90 nanometer process and using a rating of 4400+, the diagrams claim.

This, if the roadmaps are genuine, differs from Sledgehammer, presumably - which is supposed to arrive in Q1 of next year, be branded the Opteron, and aimed at the server market.
