The recent encounter with AMD representatives was a certain disappointment for the worshippers of company production , since in the hybrid processors Fusion (first generation) instead of core architecture Bulldozer was prescribed the core generation Barcelona or Shanghai. It was asserted that thus AMD will lower the risks,
connected with the integration of new core in hybrid
processors.
The hybrid
processors Swift with the previous core generation will be
released in 2009. It is completely natural that the more
progressive processors with Bulldozer architecture , which will become
basis, also, for hybrid processors Fusion , will be presented not earlier than 2010.
The relationship of
productivity and energy consumption for Bulldozer processors will be
improved by 30-100% in comparison with Barcelona generation processors
.
Intel is not assembled to lag. It is known that at the
given moment , the processors with Nehalem architecture in
synthetic benchmark demonstrate almost twice performance increase in floating-point calculations in comparison with Core generation
processors .
In Bulldozer architecture AMD company will present the
collection of instructions SSE5.
