Economic crisis forces many semiconductors producers to detain the introduction of new technologies, to put aside the announcement of new products and to reduce the equipment workload degree. AMD representatives already reported at the past quarterly current conference that the company does not intend to detain the announcement of some products or the introduction of new technologies, but it was necessary to reduce the equipment workload degree . This relates predominantly to the equipment, on which are produced 65 NM articles. AND here ,AMD is not assembled to reduce the migration rates on 45 NM technical process .
According to AMD representatives , the half of production in the fourth quarter silicic plates was processed on 45 NM technology. Consequently, critical moment will begin in the current block - AMD will release more 45-nm processors, then 65-nm. In the second quarter, the portion of 45 NM processors will increase.
According to AMD representatives , the server segment four core processors already compose about 75% of the supplied production, but only about 20% of all processors opteron are released on 45 NM technology. Obviously, AMD is interested in the fastest growth of 45 NM processors portion among Opteron.
