We already know from independent sources that AMD company intends to modernize its processors for compact devices and built in technology.
AS change to geode in its present version will come the single core processor with K8 architecture, which resembles to the first Athlon 64 Socket 754. The built-in memory controller will be single-channel, the core will support 64-bit expansions, and work at up to 1.2 GHz frequencies.
It was considered that precisely this processor will be the main competitor to intel atom, although the latter has the prime advantage in the form of small core area and 45 nm technical process. At the quarterly conference AMD leader , Dirk Meyer , reported to analysts about the readiness to discuss the answer to Intel atom only in November present year. According to Mr. Meyer, AMD will propose products for the compact and inexpensive laptop computers, and the company is definitely interested in the presence of this market segment. From the other side, AMD is not intended to release processors for MID- devices, which are the hybrid cell phone and internet device .
It is known that Intel is assembled to optimize the energy consumption of atom processors in the next generation in order to use this CPU in cell phones and palmtops.
