Deneb, the long awaited 45nm quad-core from AMD, is finally getting its final shape. Deneb was always scheduled for the second half of 2008 and when AMD's prettiest VP, Leslie Sobon, talked to us last time we knew that 2H 2008 will actually translate to Q4 2008; and judging from the facts it will rather be the last month of the last quarter.

AMD is doing the final touch to its quad-cores and from what we’ve heard, the new 45nm quad-core should overclock much better than the previous one. You can definitely expect that the normal 45nm sample should work over 3GHz, but we learned to be cautious about AMD’s promises as this company definitely taught us that we should see it to believe it.

The chips will debut either in very late November or early December and we would bet on late December. It looks that chips will be widely available in December, while samples should be out in November.
