It was considered Until now that the single structure of four core processors is one of the key advantages for representatives generation K8L (K10) above competitive decisions from intel, which have multi-chip layout. For example, the possibility of data exchange through the divided cache in the third level presented as the unquestionable advantage Of barcelona over Clovertown. Analysts reported that the area of four core processors with single chip crystal within the 65 nm technical process is sufficiently great in order to ensure the penetration of such processors in the average of price segment earlier than 2008.
It is necessary to say that Intel disregards single chip layout predominantly from economic considerations. As reported associates , Intel representatives consider the release of the single chip four core 65 nm processors pretty hard. The release level of these processors can be sufficient low, and therefore Intel is not assembled to make its multicore processors with single chip up to the appearance of 45 nm processors generation nehalem. The released in the second half-year 45 nm processors yorkfield will have multi-chip layout as the existing processors kentsfield.
On exhibition ceBIT 2007, AMD company demonstrated not only silicic plate with 65 nm four core processors, but also operational system on base of such processors. In this case the discussion dealt with desktop processor agena FX.
The Vice Presidents OF AMD acknowledged that if now it was possible, it would prefer to rather release four core processor in the multi-chip packing. The series processors AMD with four core will have single chip layout, since it is already late to change anything and this do not make sense.
AMD is assembled to assure the compatibility of existing systems not only with the four core processors shanghai, but also with the 8 core processors montreal. Most likely, the discussion dealt with server segment, in which the succession of AMD platforms is observed better than in the desktop segment. Related Products :
