AMD Leans On More Cores To Best Intel

Advanced Micro Devices Wednesday launched a chart of updated road of piece of waiter of Opteron in which the manufacturer of integrated circuits of fight hopes to delude with the customers of Intel with the processors which offer more cores for the male.

The executives of AMD indicated a conference of news to its Sunnyvale, California, the head offices which its six-core Opteron, Istanbul called, would be available in waiters of the computer manufacturers in June. The piece, which has two additional cores that Intel 'the last Xeon processors of S, will be available in two, four, and of the systems of eight-casing, and being lower-in compatible with casings in the systems running the processors of the present generation of Opteron.

Like Intel 'of the current processors of S Xeon, Istanbul is built using a manufacturing process of 45 nanometers. In 2010, AMD envisages to release the core eight to 12 45 processors of nanometer Magny-Course called, and into 2011,32 nanometer 12 - with 16 Interlagos pieces called of core. Magny-courses and Interlagos officially will be called Opteron the 6000 series.

The new processors will function on a new platform, Maranello called. The platform will require of a new casing to support improvements such as the support of memory DDR3 and of a new handset of chips. The platform will be available for waiters of two and four-casing.

In the same calendar, AMD envisages to release a new platform, San Marino called, for waiters one and of two-casing. The platform will support new 45 processors of six-core of the nanometer four, Lisbon called, which is placed at the boat in 2010. To 2011, AMD indicated that it envisages to release 32 the nanometer six with the processors of eight-core, Valence called, for San Marino, which will also include a new handset of chips and several of the same improvements as Maranello.

All the new processors, starting with Istanbul, will be manufactured by GlobalFoundries, a common company investment Co. between AMD and state-of-the-art technology, consisted the government of Abu Dhabi. The shareholders of AMD in February approved the additional advantage of AMD 'of operations of manufacture of S in participation in order to reduce it AMD 'costs of S and to finish if all is well the company the 'cord of S of the unfruitful quarters.

AMD 'chart of road of S reflects a strategy in which the company hopes to attract purchasers with the processors which offer more cores for harshly the same price as of the products of Intel with few cores, said John Spooner, analyst for the economic study of technology. One expects that Istanbul has the price indicated competitivement with Intel 'the last Xeon pieces of quadruple-core of S, and the processors of AMD planned for 2010 and 2011 are likely to follow the same strategy of evaluation.

It appears they 'about, of test of Intel of outside-core InformationWeek called by Spooner.

AMD launches its products multinucl�aires as a better execution of offer per Watt for the price than Intel. Moreover, more cores are better for the environments of waiter in which virtualizing technology is employed to run more economic applications with a simple computer, according to AMD.

If this proves to be true remainder to see. Spooner indicated that the companies are likely to find AMD 'offers of S enough attractive to carry out coast beside the tests of the waiters of Intel and AMD-based. Him 's always going to go down to, real reality of test it said.

AMD has need to obtain behind on way in corporation gone, where the sales were poor that, Spooner said. The company did better in the GCV of the consumer, but these hasn 't be enough. Without having the two pieces of the market, you put 't have enough of, of businesses it said.

AMD Tuesday brought back losses of widening in the first quarter, finished on March 31, because the income fell 21% to $1.8 billion. The company lost $416 million, compared with $351 million the same period one year ago. The last report/ratio follows a cord of the losses going behind more than two years.
