Advanced Micro Devices has ended speculation over the launch dates for its upcoming chips. The 64-bit Opteron server chip will be introduced on April 22 in New York, while the so-called Barton core for the AMD Athlon XP desktop CPU will make its debut on February 10.

However, AMD's 64-bit chip for desktop computers will not arrive on schedule. The company has also developed a 64-bit chip based on its Hammer architecture and designed for desktop computers called Athlon64, and that chip won't see the light of day until at least September, AMD said Friday. The mobile version of Athlon64 will launch at the same time, AMD said.
