AMDs dobbelkjerne-CPU fotografert

[snorreh]

Ja, men for å unngå missforståelser så er Odessa produsert på 130nm med 35W strømforbruk og Oakville på 90nm med 31W strømforbruk (lavere enn tidligere antatt). Neste år kommer 2. generasjons 90nm AMD64-prosessorer og de skal visstnok ha 25W strømforbruk ifølge dette:

Already this quarter AMD is likely to expand its Mobile Athlon 64 lineup with 3000+ and 2800+ models with 512KB of L2 cache as well as 2.0GHz and 1.80GHz clock-speeds respectively. The microprocessors code-named Oakville are projected to devour up to 35W.

 

Additionally, AMD preps a low-power breakthrough this quarter – Mobile Sempron 2800+ and 2600+ with 512KB cache and 25W thermal design power.

 

Next year the Sunnyvale, California-based chipmaker will offer more powerful 64-bit and 32-bit processors with 25W and 35W thermal envelopes for Socket 754 infrastructure.

Vedrørende dobbeltkjerne og strømforbruk så burde også denne saken være av interesse:

Dual core AMD Opterons will be low power chips

In a lunchbreak chat I had with Fred Weber he kindly elaborated on some questions about the power envelope of dual core Opterons.

 

He said that in the 90 nanometre SOI (silicon on insulator) mode, AMD expects to harvest significantly more low-power CPUs than from the current K8-process.

Jeg kom akkurat over en fotomontasje som digi.no har gjort. Slik skal de fortelle med teskje til ola nordmann hva "dual core" er for noe:

 

 

Ikke særlig teknisk korrekt... men sikkert forståelig for de som ikke er særlig datainterreserte. Tenkte bare jeg skulle dele det med dere.

Dual Core AMD Solutions

Pat Patla, AMD's Director of Server Marketing, was quick to point out that both systems were running in standard hardware configurations without additional cooling and shipping dual core product should be rated at the same wattage as single core solutions. Again, the large message behind AMD's dual core push was not thermals or clocks, but that the technology exists today and that deployment will not be hindered by core logic or motherboard changes.
