After mastering the release of two- and four core processors, AMD was greatly proud by the fact that they used a monolithic silicic crystal, whereas the first dual core processors Intel was the association on one base layer of two crystals. In the graphic market sector , on the contrary, FOR AMD there will be a multi-chip graphical solutions, which will economize time and means for development.
The first processors Intel with the integrated graphic core, as we know, will use a two-chip layout. Moreover, the north bridge crystal will be made on 45 nm and the memory controller , and computational core with the cache they will remain on 32 nm crystal. Now we can confirm that the memory controller of clarkdale processors will be arranged on 45 nm crystal, next to the graphic core - this is official information from Intel representatives .
According to Dirk Meyer , the first generation hybrid processors AMD will adhere analogous with the production Of Intel layout. Mr. Meyer: We, as Intel, intend to integrate graphic core at the level of processor joint. With time, however, AMD will obtain the possibility to more tightly integrate the graphic core at the processor level .
In other words, the first AMD processors with the built-in graphic core will for sure have a two-chip layout. Late the company will release monolithic layout - , the same passage will complete with the release of 32 nm processors sandy bridge from Intel company . AMD Chapter also considers that with the transfer of graphic core in the processor business the production of the integrated chipset will ends , and for this, there is a straight threat to NVIDIA to lose a part of market.
