AMD Demonstrates 4x4 Enthusiast System "This morning, the home office of AMD demonstrated a 4x4 enthusiast system, affectionately referred to as the “Quad Father”, running a variety of different multi-threaded applications. Among the demonstrations given, Half Life 2 was run while playing MP3 audio and MPEG4 video running in the background. AMD, in an attempt to appeal to the entire enthusiast market (not just the high-end enthusiast market) , promised dual CPU bundles for well below $1,000. AMD says they are targeting what they call the Mega-tasking enthusiast, those of us who use their machines for everything, all the time. Hopefully this little nugget of infor…

AMD tips dual-core processor design for '05 intro "The company's dual-core processor is a 205-million transistor chip, based on a 90-nm process and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The device is approximately the same die size as a single-core, 130-nm Opteron processor, McGrath said. The 940-socket compatible chip is said to have a 95-Watt power envelope, he said." 95 Watts, hmmmm, do/can cases have dual power supplies?! "Dual-core processors for the client market are expected to follow beginning in the second half of 2005, according to a presentation by the company."

AMD to launch dual-core Toledo to counter the Intel Smithfield "Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will take on Intel’s dual-core desktop Smithfield processor by introducing a dual-core counter version, codenamed Toledo, in the third quarter of this year, according to market sources. A number of vendors, including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Acer, Fujitsu Siemens, Sony and Gateway, have decided to incorporate the Toledo in their desktops, the sources noted. AMD is now entering the competition with both single and dual-core desktop processors, and the company will continue in 2006 with a dual-core processor codenamed Windsor, to counter Intel’s Presler, the sources noted."

PurSuiT gets credit for this one.... AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Utilities & Updates "The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effec…

AMD to open CrossFire? "Since its introduction, CrossFire, the multi-GPU platform from AMD (formerly ATI), has only been available on certain AMD core logic, along with Intel i975X and P965. HKEPC is now reporting that AMD may open CrossFire to any chipset with two 16x PCI Express slots, including those from NVIDIA, SiS and VIA. Such a move does fit with AMD's statements during the merger with ATI that it would remain a supporter of open platforms. No timeframe is given for the change, but considering that Dell once offered a machine with an nForce motherboard and two AMD video cards in CrossFire, it does not seem far-fetched." R600 delays point to problems "B…

AMD to Open Up Graphics Processors' Streaming Floodgates http://www.technewsworld.com/story/AMD-to-...?wlc=1226785603 In December, AMD will release a software update that unlocks the ATI Stream acceleration capabilities already built into their ATI Radeon graphics cards. The result, according to the company, will be enhanced performance for applications optimized for the technology. AMD is already working with ISVs to develop versions of software applications that make full use of ATI streaming. ATI Stream makes use of the GPU outside of the traditional scenarios -- taking care of the desktop monitor and lighting up the pixels; rendering 3-D objects in applica…

"Much like Intel’s Centrino, AMD is referring to their Turion 64 as a “Mobile Technology” and not just a microprocessor platform. AMD has seen the success of Intel’s Centrino Mobile Technology and is hoping to capitalize on some of that success. Unlike Centrino however, Turion 64 doesn’t rely on AMD-supplied chips to receive the branding. AMD will provide the Turion 64 processors, but chipsets can be provided by a number of vendors as can the LAN and wireless controllers. AMD is far less restricting on the components that make up Turion 64 enabled notebooks, which means that they will inevitably be cheaper than Centrino platforms, but it also means that they may not b…

AMD on the Rebound: A Chat With Henri Richard HWZ: With the merger, it is understandable that certain products have been realigned, but could we have an update on the R600 delays? Henri Richard: The R600 will be out in the second quarter. The reason we decided to delay the launch was that we wanted to have a complete DX10-enabled solution top to bottom. A lot of people wrote that the reason it is delayed is because of a problem with the silicon, but there is no problem with the silicon. We are demonstrating it. We can ship it today. But if you think about it, looking at where the market is at, the volumes are going to be in the R610 and R630, so it makes sense for…

AMD Opteron 170 Review "We thought it would be interesting to find out how the Opteron 170 stacks up, and how far it can be pushed with just air cooling. Why? Because if even half the legends about the 939 Opterons are true, it may just make an excellent upgrade chip, or the basis for a solid new gaming rig."
