Yes folks, in a bid to piss everyone off AMD has released a pic of the new opteron logo two weeks before the Official launch of the chip. Word from around the wibble is that more than Barcelona will be announced that day.

Who knows what will happen but with the faster ramp of Fab 36 it's possible that Sun won't have to wait for Budapest or perhaps that R600 has made it to a socket or HTX slot which will improve upon the TFLOP AMD demoed earlier this year.

Exciting times to say the least.

Here is the pic, exciting as it's NOT.

and where exactly did you find that? I highly doubt that amd would produce a logo that crappy.

Whats with the 64 in the bottom left? I thought they were totally dropping the 64 branding?

the logo came from a inquirer article

Sorry, I forgot to add the link to the Inq. Hey that rhymes.

I have also heard they will be releasing something big around that date. The source said that they cannot say what it is, or even hint whether it is ATI or AMD, I guess they don't want to get fired. But, this person seemed confident in the LITTLE bit of info he/she gave. We will see, good luck to AMD to get competitive again.

Baron,

Your avatar is disturbing, I can see people flaming you based on that alone.

that's got to be the ugliest logo i've ever seen in my entire life...

...maybe that's why Henri resigned...

I don't think the other was very well-received so I figured I'd go as opposite as possible. I'll change it as soon as I get sick of it.

who cares about logo's i want CPU's, until i see how this AMD chips pan out in the next few months i may have to get a x38 based mobo and a E6850 to tide me over.

Now AMD really makes me wonder if they're serious about becoming a major corporation....

I've got money on RD790 and AM2+....

AMD inside! Please buy it!
