AMD demos 45nm CPUs

It's been a long time coming but AMD finally got real with its 45nm lineup this week, more than a full year after announcing that they were developing CPUs that would be manufactured using a 45nm process. The company showed off two quad-core chips at the CeBIT conference in Germany--one server part and one desktop chip--both of which will ship at some point during the second half of 2008. At the moment, the server chip is going by the codename "Shanghai," while the desktop part is referred to as "Deneb," though we're quite sure they'll come up with something a little catchier by the time these products launch.
