Dus echt aan het einde van het jaarHyperTransport 3.0
Barcelona is expected in the next few months as AMD clearly indicated that this CPU should be launched by the middle of the year. Everyone suspects Computex. Anyway Barcelona does not have the HyperTransport 3 and is a server part only. Barcelona supports HyperTransport 2.0 only.
Budapest on the other hand is AM2+ and it will support HyperTransport 3.0. We mentioned this chip yesterday here.
Barcelona runs on 1207 socket and will fit at Opteron and later in Quad FX boards including the Asus L1N64-SLI WS motherboard. Budapest should work in AM2+ refreshed boards that will support HyperTransport 3.0.
HyperTransport 3.0 will increase the maximal clock speed from 1.4 GHz to 2.6 and with 32 bit links it will increase the bandwidth from 22.4 to 41.6 GB/s so at least on paper it looks significantly faster.
Budapest native quad core is scheduled for late Q3 early Q4 2007.
