PC Perspective has published a very in-depth analysis of AMD's 4th Quarter results posted yesterday.
AMD’s primary focus this quarter in the desktop market is to enable production and distribution of the triple core processors as well as the 65 watt quad core products. The triple core products should address a market that is currently empty, and AMD is quite excited to potentially have a unique product to offer consumers. The first generation of these triple core parts will be the standard rev. B2 Phenom with one core disabled. This gives AMD a bit of flexibility when dealing with either defective cores, or processors with one core that does not hit the required speed bin needed.AMD's 4th Quarter Analyzed
