With Intel pumping 65nm out from four of its plants around the world this leaves AMD playing catch-up. With AMD's Fab36 online it gives them a much needed boost in production to fulfill demand. 65nm output is apparently set to start in Q4 but according to the Inquirer however, things aren't that fAMDtastict.

...However, the situation is not entirely rosy. We've heard partners and distributors spreading a lot of bitter comments regarding AMD's tight supply of the processors, which is allegedly due to the "extreme success" of the Opteron Series 800's, which customers are really buying like there's no tomorrow. AMD currently has 40 per cent of the world's 4P server market, and the company reps are confident the firm will take the lead in that segment before the end of the year.
