Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) indicates that it designs a piece of waiter with to 16 cores, quadrupling the account of its current waiter of quadruple-core notches.
Interlagos called, the piece will have between 12 and 16 cores, and will be released in 2011, the states of company. Interlagos will be a follow-up offering to the piece Magny-Course called of 12 cores of the plans of this AMD to release in first quarter of 2010.
Increasing the core by piece of the accounts is a manner so that AMD improves the execution while trying to reduce the power drawn by the processors. To add more cores tightens also more execution out of the waiters, which can reduce all the account of waiter to the computer centres. That the assistances to reduce the acquisition of material and the costs energy, indicates Pat Patla, vice-president of the unit of platform of waiter with AMD.
The 16 pieces of core could enter waiters with between two to four casings, which could mean maximum of 64 cores per waiter. The piece will belong to Opteron 6000 series of pieces, that the company said will be probably employed in waiters of the computer centre.
The pieces will be more for the waiters which handle a series of applications - including/understanding simulations and databases - this abundance of the need for capacity for treatment, known as McCarron senior, principal analyst in the search of Mercury.
Being given consumer environment and these workload, it to be moment before 16 cores is, traditional McCarron adds.
The pieces of Opteron of AMD compete with the pieces of waiter of Xeon from Intel, but Intel announced only one version of 8 cores of its pieces of Xeon with Nehalem-EX called of piece, which had for the release in 2010. Intel also announced Larrabee piece which has much, cores but it is more for one environment of superinformatic with applications at end raised like returned three-dimensional charts.
But there is to notch the execution more that just adding cores, Patla known as. The value of the pieces turns around providing an execution of calculation balanced and reducing expenses of acquisition of energy and material, he adds.
AMD in its pieces of future will integrate the devices of management of power and the whole of instruction advanced into the level of piece to better carry out tasks in the virtualized environments. The users will be able to improve the power of order by manually covering the power drawn by cores and while cutting cores with vacuum. AMD also makes improvements to the levels of hypervisor to double the number of virtual machines which can be built on the pieces AMD-based current of waiter.
With the new pieces envisaged in 2010 and 2011, AMD also envisages to add more support of memory and hiding-place in the platforms of waiter. But there were some obvious devices missing, like multifile, that Intel already presented in its pieces. Multifile makes it possible cores to carry out multiple wire and the tasks simultaneously.
We do not lean, of execution Patla known as. The improvements of piece are balanced and AMD wants to provide the value without going over edge on devices, it is added. The improvements are conceived to align with preoccupations with a going beyond of the customers of company concerning the fragile economy and the need for measuring the value of products TI which they envisage to buy, it says.
AMD also announced that it will release a piece of 8 Valence cores called for waiters of low-end in 2011. The pieces will belong to Opteron 4000 series of pieces for one or two waiters of casing. The waiters will be designed to run of the applications of the email to the reception of Web, Patla indicates.
The pieces will be realized using the manufacturing process 32nm, which is awaited to provide improved energy efficiency and the best execution than the current pieces of Opteron realized using the process 45nm.
