AMD roadmap appears, disappears, reappears

CHIP-MAKING FIRM, AMD, has re-posted a roadmap showing the newest versions of the Hammer chip the company has in the, er, pipeline.

The roadmap reaches into 2004 and reveals plans for new chip designs based on Hammer, with the code-names "Odessa", "San Diego" and "Athens", as we revealed here

A report on TecChannel subsequently detailed how the roadmap disappeared from the site over the weekend. Yet, apart from the new codenames, there seems to have been little else in the roadmap that AMD might have decided wasn't supposed to be for public consumption. Timings for 90nm chip production were given, but this information also appeared in the of the pdf Analyst Meeting held last week.

So why the roadmap disappeared to so quickly re-appear we can't say. Anyhow, it's back now. µ
