Demonstrerer dualkjerne-prosessor

AMD kommer denne uken til demonstrere en Hewlett-Packard ProLiant-server med fire dualkjerne-prosessorer. I praksis har man dermed åtte prosesseringsenheter.

LYKKE TIL!

Hørtes ihvertfall heftig ut

Det var steike tidlig! Er spent på klokke frekvensen og effektforbruket til disse.

jeg kunne tenkte meg en sånn til databaseserver på jobben takk skal dere ha

Kanskje ikke helt tilfeldig at AMD kommer med dette nå. IDF starter 7. september og vil nok få mye oppmerksomhet i media. AMD tar dermed litt av oppmerksomheten vekk fra det Intel måtte komme med (på samme måte som Intel ville gjort overfor AMD).

 

Regner med vi får høre mer fra IDF og Intels dobbelkjerne planer fremover, Intel skal ihvertall ha en sesjon om "Dual Core Systems" på IDF, men inntil videre er det AMD som har fokus på seg og stjerne i boka for å være først.

Det er nok snakk om å kapre oppmerksomhet ja, men det er da vanlig. (selv om enkelte i en viss klubb later til å ikke vite det )

 

Har hørt rykter om at Intel skal demonstrere en dual core CPU på IDF om en ukes tid, så dette er nok ikke mye tilfeldig og bare starten på en lengre ord krig:

 

Intel unfurled its proposed delivery dates for dual-core desktop chips in May, but AMD countered that it had been preparing to go dual-core for some time. (IBM already sells dual-core chips.) Partisans and companies on both sides of the issue will likely debate the issue furiously during the next year.

BTW Intel kommer nok til å demonstrere Montecito siden dete er den eneste de tidligere har vist wafere av.

hmm.. noe sånt hadde hvert fint som arvtaker etter min XP1600+@XP1900+

 

uheldighvis kommer det sikkert til å ha en ugudelig pris...

Meget spennende dette her

 

Bra at konkurransen fremover nå vil handle mer om funksjonalitet fremfor klokkefrekvens. Blir spennende å høre hvor mange kjerner man kan integrere med K8, før man må ha et nytt design (K9).

AMD Demonstrates Dual Core Leadership

Another AMD First

• Today AMD reached another important milestone in leading the industry toward pervasive 64-bit computing by being the first in the industry to demonstrate an x86 dual core processor for 32- and 64-bit computing.

• AMD recently demonstrated a 4-socket HP ProLiant DL585 server powered by four dual core AMD Opteron™ processors manufactured on the 90nm SOI process.

• Dual core AMD Opteron™ processors for servers and workstations will launch in mid-2005 followed by dual core processors for the client market in late 2005 and will enable AMD to continue its x86 technology leadership.

• AMD Opteron with dual core processing is one more example of how AMD is extending it’s architectural leadership. AMD’s evolutionary Direct Connect Architecture connects two cores on the same die.

• AMD is delivering technology leadership to benefit our server and workstation customers and giving our partners a competitive advantage in the market.

• Since the AMD64 platform was first discussed publicly in 1999, we have indicated on multiple occasions that AMD64 was designed from the ground up to be optimized for multiple cores.

 

The AMD64 dual core advantage

• Ease of Migration to Dual Core Processors

– HP, IBM and Sun and other system manufacturers will be able to easily incorporate dual core products into their existing AMD Opteron™ processor-based designs

– End users can upgrade their existing systems that are compatible with 90nm single core processors to dual core processors

• Higher Performance Per Watt

– Customers will experience the performance advantages of dual core processors by getting the best performance per watt available in the market

• Direct Connect Architecture

– Best 2-socket and 4-socket architecture for x86 computing

– Addresses and helps reduce the real challenges and bottlenecks of system architecture because everything is directly connected to the CPU

– Directly connects the two processor cores on to a single die to even further reduce latencies between processors

 

AMD Opteron™ Dual Core Overview

• The AMD Opteron™ processor was designed from the start to add a second core

– Port already existed on crossbar/SRI

– One die with 2 CPU cores, each core has its own 1MB L2 cache

• Drops into existing AMD Opteron 940-pin sockets that are compatible with 90nm single core processors

• A BIOS update was all that was necessary to get the 4-socket server up and running with dual core AMD Opteron processors

• The 2 CPU cores share the same memory and HyperTransport™ technology resources found in single core AMD Opteron processors

– Integrated memory controller & HyperTransport links route out the same as today’s implementation

“This industry milestone changes the dynamics of the computing business,” said Dirk Meyer, executive vice president, AMD Computation Products Group. “Once again, AMD is delivering a simplified approach to more efficient processing power, with products that will deliver multi-core 64-bit computing to our strong customer base.”

 

“Dual-core technology provides an attractive path for increasing processor performance with little or no increase in power consumption or heat dissipation,” observed Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight64. “AMD laid the groundwork for its dual-core processors years ago, when it gave its single-core AMD64 processors the on-chip plumbing they would need to support a second core at a later date. As AMD moves dual-core technology from theory to practice, it is reassuring to see that current investments in core logic and platform technology will remain relevant for years to come.”

 

“AMD has recognized the importance of keeping a compatible system architecture while still meeting today's demanding computing needs,” said Kevin Krewell, editor-in-chief, Microprocessor Report, Instat-MDR. “AMD's demonstration of a current platform operating on dual-core AMD Opteron processors based on AMD64 technology represents another industry first for AMD as the company continues to provide industry-leading innovations to the industry-standard architecture.”

 

“Dual- and multi-core processor technologies on industry-standard servers will redefine scalability, performance and value for enterprise and SMB customers,” said Paul Miller, vice president of marketing, HP Industry Standard Servers. “Having the industry's first dual-core x86 processors from AMD up and running on HP ProLiant servers demonstrates both HP's close relationship and collaboration with AMD and our ongoing commitment to rapidly deliver the best new technologies to our customers.”

 

“As AMD's strategic partner, we are in a unique position to support AMD64 dual-core technology with our hardware and software products,” said John Fowler, executive vice president of the Network Systems group at Sun Microsystems. “The Solaris OS combined with the AMD Opteron processor-based Sun servers and workstations will take full advantage of the AMD64 dual-core architecture, managing multi-threaded applications with superior efficiency and performance.”
