AMD has recently denied the rumor that Phenom would be delayed (http://www.techpowerup.com/?33893). AMD says that they will have Phenom released during Q4 2007, despite motherboard manufacturers saying otherwise.
However, any Phenom launch before Q1 2008, according to AMD, will be a mere paper launch, not unlike the HD 2x00 series. Motherboard manufacturers claim that this delay is give AMD enough time to make enough Phenom processors for a heavy AMD fanbase. This is also a move designed to make Phenom more competitive with Penryn.
