AMD next-gen ultrathin gets early birthday

AMD is carried in balance to beat Intel in the race to embark the next generation of the processors strapping men of waiter and the pieces of ultra-thin-book.

During the conference call of yesterday 'of S announcing the company 'the incomes of first quarter of S, President Dirk Meyer of AMD 'of S and the rivet multi-hatted of EVP, COO, and CAD Bob make it be known that the beastie of waiter of Istanbul of six-core and the platform of Congo of ultra-thin-book will be available during the current quarter.

Discussing Istanbul, Meyer said: I am happy to announce that thanks to our strong technology and execution, draws us in forwardings from income from Istanbul in May, with the availability of system in June.

Note the little about forwardings of income. AMD always fights to break even financially, thus all the additional ones box inside May and June will help to make its numbers Q2 2009 more bearable.

Intel, just as now well-known with world+dog, recently debuted its Xeon four-core EP-based by Nehalem 5500 series. Its eight-core Nehalem isn EX 't envisaged until the next year. And the doesn of Chipzilla 't has all the pieces of six-core in its roadmaps.

But because AMD provided more groups of Istanbul during another call of press this afternoon, Intel had this to say: Because the competitors fall behind into the execution, you will see that they to throw more cores and more die size of their processors to continue. This takes the real estate of valid processor and the working capacity. The key is input-output, integrated controllers of memory, or no device a peripheral. The key is which has better microarchitecture of processor, and clearly it is Intel.

While waiting, the platform of Congo is designed for the place incipient from the ultra-thin books such as the air and the house dv2 of MacBook of HP intended for the stylistas which want the full execution of PC in a smaller factor of form.

Congo will comprise a version of duel-core of AMD 'processor of S of n�o-, Conesus called. Reports/ratios earlier had at the end of this year this forwarding of platform, but apparently the things go more without jolt than envisaged with AMD. Like said rivet, us will embark this end of platform at the bottom of this quarter.

Congo is one following the company at the 'platform with a core of S Yukon, which was its first incursion into late acronym of the day, CULV - for the very reduced tension of the consumer. Not to be exceeded, Intel has its own parts of CULV in its drain - but they gained 't appear until at the end of this year.

AMD can be first in this race, but they 'd make well to remember the old proverb: Pionniers obtains the arrows. The colonists obtain the ground. �
