As you can remember, company AMD searched for the possibility to demonstrate working models servers of processors generation K8L. the demonstration of processors was limited, and we have not obtained any idea about the speed or the overclocking potential of these processors. Some sources attempted to fill the blank, after publishing tentative technical characteristics of servers processors on the core barcelona and Budapest.
Meanwhile yesterday encounter with the analysts representatives OF AMD decided to refresh the demonstrated to public slide info, which tells about the improvements, provided in processors with the architecture K8L.
Thus, the title QUAD CORE - AMD LEADS AGAIN (four core - AMD again leads) speaks about the AMD ambitions , which connects with speed conclusion to the market of actually four core processors. Although Intel proposes processors with four core, they are obtained them with a pair of dual core crystals, and AMD such processors four core cpu do not consider .
Increase in the speed from the passage to four core processor generation K8L must compose 40%, according AMD estimations . here is considered not only the increase, ensured by improvements at the architectural level, but also increase from the passage for four core processor solutions.
In another line AMD speaks about the increase in 60%, but it already relates to the index of performance per watt. If one considers that standard values TDP for the processors opteron will not change (68 W, 95 W and 120 W), entire increase in 60% can be attributed to be a clean speed increase. Most likely, AMD expects to decrease the energy consumption of processors - 0.065 m technical process and advanced technologies to control the power of processors will make this possible . In any case, the first representatives of 0.065 m technical process already demonstrate a certain progress in this sphere.
AMD declares on the changes at the architectural level with the improvements in the cache and cores . Compatability with Socket F will be preserved, as we already noted - for the work with the new processors it suffices to update motherboard BIOS . Related Products :
