AMD delays launch of 64-bit dual-core mobile processors to June
AMD has postponed the launch of the Turion 64 X2, its first 64-bit dual-core processor, to June 2006, instead of May 9 as originally planned, sources at Taiwan notebook manufacturers indicated. Since Microsoft has delayed Vista is was only a matter of time before other companies hold products back due to slow sales. On the bright side at least certain hardware companies have a chance to take a breath from the daily grind.
The push back of the launch date was due to a slower-than-expected demand in the worldwide notebook market caused by Microsoft’s delayed launch of its Vista operating system, according to the sources. AMD Taiwan declined to comment on the report, claiming that launch schedule of its Turion 64 X2 will be coordinated with the release of new products from its contract partners.
