Some time after the declarations of union between ATI and AMD company hide their interest in the collections logic system and graphical solutions, produced by this producer. Rumors about the possible integration of video card and processors were repeatedly commented by sources close to AMD, and all indicated the possibility of similar scenario. we have made two observation.First,To unite graphic core and central processor this must be economically justified from the “transistor budget”. In other words, when the mastered technical process will make possible to place this combined device on the crystal of sufficiently compact sizes. In the second place, such hybrid micros-chip must find sucsess in the mobile segment, and also in the budget devices composition with the high degree of integration.
Associate published yesterday interview with the AMD technologist , (Phil hester). In the course of this conversation some interesting facts were expressed.
For example, Mr. [Khester] stated that AMD is going to improove its mobile solutions, oriented to corporate user.
[hester] confirms that in year AMD it will have available processors with four core.[hester] assume that it speak not only about the server processors opteron with four core, which will appear in the second quarter of 2007, but also about the table processors class athlon 64 FX.
Finally, AMD for the first time distinctly calls the periods of the appearance of processors with integrated video card. In the mobile segment such products must appear in 2008, within the 0.045 m technical process. To mobile segment similar solutions in the first years will limit. By the way, associates are assured that Intel also will work in the development of integration in one chip the graphic core, the memory controller and processor. .
