AMD said it will launch the 45nm server processors (Shanghai) in mid-October 2009. Nine CPUs with core frequencies between 2.3-2.7GHz will be offerered initially, according to sources at server makers.

The nine Shanghai processors will include five 2-way and four 8-way models. All will support the company's socket F (1207), and include an on-die DDR2 memory controller and 6MB L2 cache.

In February 2009, AMD will launch five 55W low-voltage server CPUs – three 2-way and two 8-way – and two 105W high-performance models – one 2-way and an 8-way.

Shanghai processors will only support HyperTransport 1.0 initially. Models supporting HyperTransport 3.0 will be released in the second quarter of 2009. AMD is also planning to launch a new server chipset (SR5600) in the second quarter of 2009, the sources added.
