Initially, the good news. Nowadays AMD goes maintenance. It is a radical change of the AMD of 2007-2008, which always seemed to have a distributor completely paper processors of INTEL-victory which, if they materialized, disappointed.

Rapid ahead with AMD 'with advertisement of incomes of S Tuesday, when the company said it raised really the introduction its processor more sophisticated, the Istanbul six-core, at June.

And AMD proved its silicon courage to large customers of waiter such as IBM and Sun Microsystems--executive vice-president John Fowler the last 'of S did not have anything but the praise for processors AMD in the systems at end high of waiter of Sun.

In total Webcast has on technology Wednesday of waiter, Patrick Patla, a vice-president in AMD 'waiter of S and businesses of work station, indicated strong roadmaps, to say that 8 - and 12 cores Magny-Course processors will appear in 2010. Us 'about currently working with the new processors until we wait will deliver more than 35 times the execution of the processor to an original core of AMD Opteron released in 2003, Patla said in a report/ratio.

Intel, naturally, will also highlight processors of much-core, but AMD keeps the step, and, according to the people who should know, like Sun 's Fowler, perhaps more than keeping the step.

Now, the bad news. This post today on Hundred 's beseech the blog says it all: One of our greater exits with the HP the 'house dv3z of S was its processor of AMD, keeping it to beat outside the execution from comparable 13 - and the laptops of 14 inches with Intel dig 2 central processing units of treatment of duet. It is, by no means, the first review which expresses this feeling. In short, mobile platforms of AMD uniformly are raised soon on the market of high profile and in full expansion of laptop. Will AMD fill space in 2009?

Perhaps an answer to this question is the n�o- piece of AMD 'of S which actuates the inexpensive and ultra-thin laptop house dv2 of HP. More than one Netbook but less than one traditional laptop, this kind of mobile device smoothes could thereafter eclipse the high segment at end of Netbook.

President Dirk Meyer of AMD stated Tuesday that the n�o- processor with a core will obtain a child of same parents of duel-core to double in Congo from here summer. A processor of duel-core in this expensive not very, category of the MacBook-Air-for-the-masses is an irresistible proposal. AMD must remain in front of the play, particularly when Intel highlights pieces for this category in the calendar of May-June.
