The noticeable reduction in the production of contemporary single cores AMD processors , could mean that amd will practically remove them with the release of 45 nm processors .
Let us note , that recent return to the official Price- list AMD of the single core processor athlon 64 3200+ demonstrates the cautious attitude of producer with this processors class . Under the conditions of limited production capacities and strong dependence in budget area , AMD cannot allow to transfer to the dual core CPU to the cheapest processors.
In the interview with (David Schwarzbach), the manager on marketing subdivision AMD, which is occupied by desktop processors, discussed some plans of company for the near period.
We will start from the main theme. AMD agree, that there now began preponderance in the benefit of dual core processors - at least, on the average and upper price ranges. The role of the single core processors decreased its significance, but it will not be completely lost. In the future AMD is not assembled to reject the release of single core processors, simply the deliveries volumes and the significance of dual core processors will grow.
The released recently 65 nm single cores processors athlon 64 have more compact and colder core, and these are the two main benefits from the transfer of family athlon 64 in the new technical process. It is known that the level TDP of these processors will not exceed 45 W. As note AMD representatives , home users can not feel a savings on the electric power, but here important companies and enterprises will perceive benefit from the use of more economical processors.
In this case where said some words about dual core : Athlon 64 X2 6000+. According to the estimations AMD, this processor ensures increase in the speed to 4-7% in comparison with Athlon 64 X2 5600+,.
AMD considers at the present moment that Athlon 64 X2 6000+ will become last the model generation K8. In the second-half of this year for the market will be released the four core desktop processors agena and their dual core kinsmen (Kuma and Rana), now AMD attempts to be concentrated during the development of precisely such processors.
So, intel company intends to bring the fraction of poly-nuclear processors in the assortment of its production to 80% already to the third quarter this year, for Intel critical moment in the migration to the poly-nuclear layout came in the fourth quarter of 2006. It is obvious that even Intel with the unquestionable financial and technological advantages do not plan to completely reject the release of single core processors.
