AMD has an updated processor roadmap available for your viewing pleasure. The roadmap details AMD's processor plans through next year, but with the timeline segmented into six-month blocks, it's hard to draw any firm conclusions on release dates.
Despite its ambiguity, the roadmap reveals a few interesting tidbits, most notably that dual-core Opteron and Athlon 64 FX processors won't arrive until the second half of 2005. Dual-core replacements for AMD's FX-less Athlon 64s aren't listed at all, suggesting that they may not debut until 2006. The roadmap also indicates that single-core, 90-nano Opteron processors will arrive before the end of this year in 1xx, 2xx, and 8xx flavors.

That and they're working on building a second Fab plant in Germany, which I want to say was on track to open in 2006. That, and the Opteron was kicking the Xeon's behind in benchmarks done by HP - someone who sells both. Single-core single-CPU Opteron box beat a 2-CPU Xeon. Was quite funny.
But yeah...AMD is definitely taking the forefront of the server and gaming markets, for sure.
one more fab here in germany? w00t... ^^
