The Silicon-on-Insulator question: Q&A with Christophe Maleville, Soitec: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20051028PR201.html
YEAH...soitainly nuttin dat intel has not... :)
Religion ?
Faith ?
So why do you suppose Hector is gearing up production...a hope and a prayer ?
Comparewd to what...itself or Opteron ?
Fair enough, I respect your opinion enough that I read that article over very carefully for the inaccuracies, which I could not find :)
"I don´t agree with much in that article"
Like what ?
AMD needing "REASONs" to go down...now that WOULD be NEWS
try not to drink so much of the company "kool aid" :)))
got one...try not to lose it...so to speak....
i repeat for both of you....
are you confused about how to post on the intel thread ?
Let it go...for the foreseeable future, it is all that they have :)
nteresting Turion win: a real DTR: A 17-inch widescreen joins AMD Turion 64 processors, up to 200 GB of storage and tri-mode Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g in Helett-Packard's new Pavilion dv8000 desktop replacement laptop: http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/6250.html ?
I really do "thing" so :)))
soooo...you are as happy as pig in DOO DOO ?
you may be the only person on this thread who understands the impact of that
Yeah, and when you finger it out, you too will realize the it means intel is switching over in a headlong rush, because it has to...it has no choice...it is so, so far behind AMD where it is now...Hector will switch AMD at his own pace, while maximizing money made and advantages to AMD all along. intel is in deep DOO DOO where it is now, AMD is not.
When I saw your post I thought that it was a "doctored photo" joke, but it is just another one of those too good to be true moments that they provide; after all, this is the same company that opened one of its ANALysts' meetings with the theme from T(itanic) :)))
Sure looks to me as an admission on the part of intel that it finds itself between a rock and a hard place with xeon
re: "Looks like Intel's 65nm is pretty healthy."
AMD is doomed...doomed...i say dommed...fret, fret...as i poop in my soup....
GOOD :) I think that with any luck at all this puppy can go to $100 over the next couple or so years...with lots of luck and a tailwind, its market cap has a shot at crossing intel's over a longer period. Do be patient.
re: "2+2=4"
TOO BAD that for most ANALysts this represents higher mathematics well beyond their separate or collective comprehension.
SHEEEESH...i thought that yoiu might have sold out
here come duh dud(s): http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/breaking_news/12865641.htm
Intel launches dual-core chips for servers
MATTHEW FORDAHL
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Months earlier than expected but still half a year behind its competition, Intel Corp. has started shipping server multiprocessors that have two computing engines on a single chip.
The new dual-core Xeon chips for two-processor servers promise up to a 50 percent improvement over systems with two single-core processors, said Shannon Poulin, director of product marketing at Intel's Server Platform Group.
Both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. launched dual-core chips this year as a way of gaining performance while controlling power consumption. AMD initially focused on servers while Intel started with chips for desktop computers.
As a result, the new Xeon is arriving about six months after AMD's dual-core Opteron chip made its debut.
"We are very committed to enabling the industry for dual- and multi-core, and that's why we were taking a very measured approach to getting these out there and putting them in platforms," Poulin said.
But Intel's hand was forced when it decided to switch from releasing higher-frequency chips to those with two or more computing engines, said Gordon Haff, an analyst at the research firm Illuminata.
"Intel did not sit back and intentionally plan to roll out first a dual-core desktop and then a server," he said. "It's what their technology forced them to do when Intel decided to accelerate dual-core development."
AMD has managed to make inroads in servers, which are used for Web sites, applications and storage. Its market share was 11.2 percent in the second quarter, according to Mercury Research.
Intel still dominates with an 88.8 percent share in so-called x86 servers. It also plans to price its chips aggressively - at or lower than single-core server chips. The new Xeons cost $1,043 each when bought in volume.
Intel originally intended to launch the dual-core Xeon early next year but was able to move earlier than expected. Poulin credited "exquisite engineering," though AMD said its larger rival rushed because of the stiff competition.
"We've been keeping the chair warm and we welcome them to the party we started back in April," said Patrick Patla, AMD's director of server and workstation marketing.
As has been the case with Intel's desktop dual-core processors, AMD claims its chips were designed from the start with dual-core use in mind. Intel, AMD claims, took existing chips and bolted them together.
"It's pretty much a no-show from a performance and technology perspective," Patla said. "Intel is talking a good story about next-generation architectures, but they haven't really done anything about it."
Intel's chips will benefit from an ability to handle two tasks, or threads, at once using a technology called Hyper-Threading. As a result, a two-core Xeon chip in a two-processor server can execute eight threads.
Later this year, Intel will launch dual-core chips for servers running four or more dual-core processors. In a system with 32 processors, up to 128 threads can run at once.
By the middle of hext year, "we are going to be in a situation where Intel will have erased some of the functional gaps that they have had with AMD," Haff said. "By erasing the gap, Intel certainly has the opportunity to bring their much larger and better resourced manufacturing and development organization to bear."
in ePhd the father ?
what a surprise :)
sounds like a TOU violation, both to the chipdesigner and to the thread moderator
SUNW closing in on dull in the "pre" http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cq?d=e&s=sunw+dell
it has been under distribution for some time now
it also dropped a few dollars in a short period
dull might be the bigger part of that move
No more time than it took AMD to close that gap. I kinda hoped it would be you that would ask that.
DELTA (dull minus SUNW) now under $30 and closing
ODD...i had actually never seen one before
enjoy it guys, we earned it :))))
updated review: http://www.laptoplogic.com/resources/articles/42/1/1/ from a very niceguy :)))
NAW...dull's fine service reputation will ovrcome this
