AMD Abandons Plans for Dual-Processor Enthusiast Platforms
By
Advanced Micro Devices said on Thursday it currently has no plans to develop its dual-processor (DP) platforms for enthusiast. The decision essentially cancels any efforts in regards of the well-advertised FASN8 platform and forces the worlds second largest supplier of x86 microprocessors to leave the market of the so-called extreme enthusiasts.
[] AMD has discontinued future planning and development of its eight-core enthusiast platform at this time. [] We will continue to support customers that have an existing Quad FX with DSDC and are also working on an upgrade path for those customers. [The upgrade path] likely wont be a Phenom-branded product, Ms. Suzy Pruitt, a spokeswoman for AMD, said in an interview with TechReport web-site.
