AMD Seeks to Leapfrog Intel With Chip Plans

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. its program updated to provide new models of its pieces of Opteron for systems of waiter, hoping to exceed the execution of the products of competition of Intel Corp.

AMD indicated Wednesday when it will present a piece, Magny-Course called, in first quarter of 2010 which will come in the models with eight and 12 processors. The company currently offers what industry calls the pieces of quadruple-core, which pack the circuits of four processors on one of only one silicon part.

AMD also provided him more detail of the east plans accelerates the delivery of a piece of six-processor, Istanbul called, making it possible systems to be available by using the piece in June. The company had mentioned this development during a conference call with analysts Tuesday in connection with the company 'the financial results of first quarter of S.

Promote in the future, AMD indicated in 2011 when it will deliver a family of piece, doubled Interlagos, which will come in the models which have 12 or 16 processors.

AMD, of Sunnyvale, California, and Intel packed a long time to exceed itself to offer the additional cores of processor, which help of the waiters and other computers handle more work of calculation. AMD had recently fallen behind Intel in the absolute execution, underlining a balance computing speed with the price and the energy-effectiveness.

We do not lean the execution, Patrick says Patla, a vice-president of AMD and the managing director of his unit of waiter, during a briefing in its Sunnyvale, California, head offices which was emission above the Web. We want to make the top-line execution with the effectiveness of basic line.

Intel presented last year a model of its line of Xeon which has six processors; its more recent model, called Nehalem, has four processors, but each processor can handle up to two instructions simultaneously by employing one of process called hyper-threading. Intel indicated that it will deliver a Xeon eight-processor towards the end of 2009.

Nick Knupffer, a spokesperson of Intel, implied that the company will continue to exploit the advantages of hyperthreading.

We are trustful we will remain far ahead on the execution--and with few cores--made thus in, more profitable and manufacture-friendly in way he said in an email. It will be the first time in the history where less is more.
