Advanced Micro Devices is preparing to launch its “Magny-Cours” Opteron 6000-series processor for servers during the first quarter of 2010, an AMD executive said Monday. AMD executives wouldn’t reveal the clock speeds of the chip, but said that the new processor would have to be clocked at a slower speed to hit the company’s stated goal of maintaining the same thermal and power envelope as the current “Istanbul” architecture.
