AMD puts the kibosh on Quad FX platform
Filed under: DesktopsNow that Spider’s hogging the limelight, the question inevitably had to be asked, and it seems the answer is no. The inquiry, of course, is whether or not AMD would keep on keepin’ on with the lukewarmly received Quad FX platform, and judging by comments from the chip maker’s own Suzy Pruitt, the end for it is nigh. More specifically, Pruitt stated that AMD had “discontinued future planning and development” for the Quad FX platform, and also noted that it had shifted most of the effort over to initiatives such as the aforementioned Spider. Notably, it was stated that the outfit would continue to support customers that have existing Quad FX-based hardware, and while specifics weren’t doled out, we did hear that upgrade options for those individuals would likely not include a Phenom-branded product.
