AMD has delayed the launch of two of its Phenom processors.

The company has confirmed that two of the quad-core processors will be delayed for a few months. The admission was made to the Ars Technica website on Thursday.

An AMD representative confirmed that the Phenom 9900 and 9700 are being pushed into the second quarter of 2008, after they were originally scheduled to launch this quarter.
