The most strange is the fact that no publication in main computer magazines are
present about this last AMD's 64 bits chip. I expected that in magazines for
June something will be published. Already few magazines for June arrived but no
articles about this chip. Why all this silence? Is this chip already failed
someway, or will become visible only later?
