Current shipments of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Athlon 64 processors to OEM clients and the channel are better than anticipated.

The company expects to ship 600,000 units in the third quarter, according to sources at AMD Taiwan.

With the current level of demand likely to carry over to the end of the year, AMD is optimistic it will ship 1.5-2 million K8 CPUs in the fourth quarter, the sources estimated.

Shipments of AMD's Sempron processors will also be good in the third quarter, though not at strong as the Athlon 64 CPUs, the sources added.
