The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based chipmaker--in conjunction with server start-up Newisys--has created a four-processor server, code-named Quartet, that will hit the market later this quarter, said Ben Williams, director of the server and workstation business segment at AMD. The chipmaker created the basic reference design. Newisys works with various computer makers to devise implementations of Quartet for commercial release.
"(Computer makers) take the designs and modify them, but you will see designs based on Quartet in the market late in the second quarter," Williams said. Workstations based on Opetron, meanwhile, should arrive late in the second quarter to early in the third quarter.
Two-processor servers based on Opteron, along with a host of chipsets and complimentary software, will be formally unveiled Tuesday at a news conference in New York.
