"On a second quarter earnings conference call Thursday, AMD executives said the company's planned quad-core processor—based on what executives characterized as a new microarchitecture—will be demonstrated before the end of the year."

"We have a new microarchitecture under development and the first substantiation of that will be the quad-core to be launched in mid 2007," said Dirk Meyer, AMD's president and chief operating officer."

"In the meantime, AMD has plans to release a chip for the enthusiast market called the 4x4, which links two dual-core processors using AMD's fast hypertransport link to get quad-core like performance. AMD has said that product will ship by the holidays."
