AMD launches first 45nm, quad-core Shanghai Opterons, hitting desktops Q1
Engadget — ... farms. Available immediately in 75-watt, quad-core versions running clock speeds from 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz. Desktop-class "Dragon" chips should hit the PC market in Q1. Great, now where are those 45-nm netbook procs, eh AMD?

AMD's Quad-Core "Shanghai" Server Opterons Go 45nm, Desktop Version In '09 [Amd]
Gizmodo — ... L3 cache has risen from 2 to 6MB, giving it about 35% boosted power performance over the previous generation. The new chips also have better power management, meaning they can draw up to 35% less power under idle conditions, are compatible with DDR2-800 memory for faster memory accessing, and are backwards compatible with existing Socket-1207 mounting. These 75W server chips are out now, between 2.3 and 2.7 GHz clock speeds, and a desktop variety, dubbed "Dragon" is due early 2009. [AMD and ...

AMD Shanghai Opteron 45nm quad-cores announced; desktop in Q1 2009
SlashGear — ... AMD have announced their latest server chips, the 45nm quad-core Opterons.  The chips - known as “Shanghai” - have triple the L3 cache from the previous generation, at 6MB, which AMD are claiming will increase performance by 35-percent.  That seems to be a popular number, too, as the Shanghai processors also consume 35-percent less power when idle.  Best of all, though, they’re backward-compatible with the Socket-1207 motherboards used in Barcelona-based servers, making for straightforward upgrades. ...

Code name Shanghai: AMD’s 45nm quad-core Opterons are here
CrunchGear — ... AMD, Intel’s arch nemesis, is rolling out its first 45nm quad-core Opteron processors today. The move to 45nm brings lower power consumption (a decrease by about 35 percent) and increased (by 35 percent, too) “performance,” a term so nebulous it can mean anything. ...

AMD Shanghai released: 45-nanometer quad-core Opteron
Obsessable News Feed — ... AMD has introduced its latest processor refresh, a quad-core Opteron processor using a new 45-nanometer manufacturing process. The "Shanghai" chips improve performance over last year's "Barcelona" model, built on a 65-nanometer process, by running at a higher clock frequency. Besides a speed bump, Shanghai chips use a new cache backup to save power: individual cores can dump their L1 and L2 caches into the shared six megabytes of L3 cache and power-down completely, restoring them later when needed. Memory performance is upgraded with a bandwidth boost from ...
