AMD Barcelonas to arrive August 07

AMD has told its distributors and re-sellers to expect production quantities of its up-and-coming Barcelona chip in the middle of August... this year!

That is the traditional time the channel gears up for its sales push although it is a generally quiet time for everyone else.

Many of us hardware conscious will remember that these release date announcements have happened before. AMD makes a big push at the annual Computex shows and then when all the fluff has settled, real chips start appearing in mid-August.

But it seems AMD fluffed its Computex launch a bit and have decided to announce them in that timeframe.

Thanks to the INQ for the headsup!
