Last January, Intel launched speed up the release of 45nm processor.  Meanwhile, AMD broadcasts that this year will release many processor using 45nm technologies.   The statement is confirmed by the on going research on 2 unit chips with 45nm technology from AMD.  The first type is processor serie quad-core server with code name “Shanghai” and next is processor serie quad-core desktop with code name “Deneb”.  Both processor were displayed during ceBIT 2008 in Hannover.  There two processors were produced in Fab36 that is AMD fabric that was specialized in producing 300mm wafer AMD located in German.  With collaboration with IBM, this fabric is now producing 45nm.

There is no confirmed test on how the speed of this 45nm AMD processor.  Rumors spread that “Shanghai” has capacity L2 cache as much as 6MB.  This is 4MB more as compared to AMD previous processor type “Barcelona” that was claimed as “not optimal”.  Rumors also spread that this “Shanghai” 45nm processor is not going to be launched in near future.
