Also I\'m not sure what you mean by "Actual launch"

AMD says it will begin shipping Barcelona processors for revenue in August, and that Barcelona-based systems from AMD platform partners will start shipping in September. However, AMD specifies that chips available at launch will only run as fast as 2GHz. The new K10 architecture should allow for higher performance per clock cycle and per core than existing K8-based Opterons, but 2GHz may still be a little tight in the face of Intel\'s 3GHz quad-core Xeons. AMD doesn\'t expect faster Barcelona models to come out before the fourth quarter of this year.
Obviously, AMD is going to ship Barcelona processors in August. And the Barcelona platform partners will start shipping in September.

AMD\'s press release claims, "With planned availability at launch in a range of frequencies up to 2.0 Ghz, AMD expects its native quad-core processors to scale to higher frequencies in Q407 in both standard and SE (Special Edition) versions."
Again, THE launch date is in August and will be a hard launch. Unless AMD learnt from ATI.
