AMD Looks to Redefine the Game

�If I were a wild and free horticulture
All I 'd want are you with being my soft honey bee.
And if I were a large and green tree rising
All I 'd want are you for me ombrager and with being my sheets.

-- Of all which I want is you by Barry Louis Polisar

Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) just released an impressive line of new pieces, granted to a series of special needs. They will be enough to surmount Intel 's (Nasdaq: INTC) high-executant of the processors of Nehalem?

The new product of Opteron EE -- The EE represents extremely effective -- supply with the narrowly packed environments of center of data processing where the low power draws performance more than right-hand side-towards the top of matter the high one. The series of the EE will function also quickly like standard piece of Opteron, but in an envelope of 40 Watts power. Most effective Opteron previously would work out with 55 Watts of power while to do the same work, and a standard model needs up to 75 Watts.

These heavy improvements of processor-level translate with the low power approximately of 13% for a totality, system power-optimized. That makes the product very attractive to opacify the stores of calculation and other dense environments. Sometimes, more processors per square foot of center of data processing and megawatt-hour of output of food of electric current improve of the returns on investment that higher of the interpreters with the heavy needs for power.

The EE gained the 'Nehalem beat of T in the majority of the reference marks head to head, but as you can see, who 's not the point. Give at Intel the simple-processor crowns absolute execution during one moment -- and hearth on taking the market share in the arena of solid mass-multiprocessor. I intend to see waiters of blade built around these pieces by Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: JAVA) -- or Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL), as this company could be known in the near future.

Perhaps the best device of Opteron EE is than it should be complete lower-in the replacement for any other piece of Opteron. These pups are sorted rest as an element of the manufacture and the process of test -- a few pieces can function at the higher frequencies of clock, whereas others draw less power at a certain speed. This line is the by-product of the manufacture of high-quality.

No word on the price of street still, but Opteron not-all with fact-like-impressive that IT produces sells for almost twice the price of not it notch at the same speed. I 'call of D this a return of high-margin on an investment relatively inexpensive, and there 'gone well defined of SA for these basic pieces power.

If I were IT director with the supports in mass packed of waiter, I 'd want some of these beauties -- even if I also bought waiters of Nehalem for my needs with high output. AMD is of return in the play of center of data processing for truth. Now, 's leaves see whether it can bet that in stronger margins and actual profits. Stranger things occurred.
