AMD visar upp 4x4-plattformen

Hadde hellre sett en Quad core processor och Quad channel stöd det hade gett samma prestanda men gjort moderkortet mindre och enklare.

Men vissa lekmän missar också att det 4 CPU-Cores och 4 GPUer i ett fullt 4x4 system.

Det sa jag inte heller. Finns redan processorer som har 4 cores och SUN har en som har 8st.

Hehe, nu tar jag spaden samt hinken och går till sandlådan

Missade totalt det där med dubbla grafikkort :D... men är dom dualGPU/core?

EDIT: såg i den über suddiga bilden att det står just Dual GPU

Om ett program stödjer mer än en kärnar på cpun, eller har stöd för flera cpu:er, så spelar det ingen roll hur många processorer/kärnor du har, 2, 4, 8 eller 32, program som fördelar belastningen fördelar på alla kärnor oavsett antalet.

Men undantag om programmeraren inte har en utbildning och fördelar mellan kärna 1 och kärna 2 tex, så blir kärna 3 och 4 onvända, men det är nog inte så troligt.

Slutsats mer kärnor åt folket till lägre priser!

The battle for quad-core market position has already begun for processor rivals Advanced Micro Devices and Intel.
On a second quarter earnings conference call Thursday, AMD executives said the company's planned quad-core processor—based on what executives characterized as a new microarchitecture—will be demonstrated before the end of the year.

"We have a new microarchitecture under development and the first substantiation of that will be the quad-core to be launched in mid 2007," said Dirk Meyer, AMD's president and chief operating officer.

At an analyst day last month, AMD talked about its plans for the new architecture, which includes L3 cache, 32-bit instruction fetch, dual 128-bit SSE data flow, and dual 128-bit loads per cycle.

AMD has stressed that its quad-core design will be a "true quad-core," meaning it will contain four separate cores on a die.

Yesterday, during its own conference call, Intel re-iterated its plans to release a quad-core processor by the end of the year. Intel's version is expected to contain two dual-core processors packaged on a die.

Intel also plans release a two dual-core Core 2 Duo processors packaged together to create a similar product for the desktop market. That product is expected to be announced in Intel's Core 2 Duo kick-off on July 27.

In the meantime, AMD has plans to release a chip for the enthusiast market called the 4x4, which links two dual-core processors using AMD's fast hypertransport link to get quad-core like performance. AMD has said that product will ship by the holidays.

The server and enthusiast gaming are two markets that can take advantage of quad-core because software available is already multithreaded, Intel president and CEO Paul Otellini said during Intel's earnings call yesterday.

On the desktop side, both AMD and Intel noted lower ASPs for desktop processors during the second quarter. AMD said the lower ASPs in desktops were a particular problem in the channel. AMD executives made reference to Intel's aggressive desktop processor pricing strategy several times during the call.

In some cases, executives said, AMD walked away from business when price points became so low the deal was deemed unprofitable.

Henri Richard, AMD's executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing, said AMD would only take business that makes sense for the company. "We are not going to chase what I call lighting a cigarette in front of a gas leak," he said.

In the third-quarter, AMD believes it will do better than typical seasonality. While desktop remains troubled, executives said notebooks and server sales are robust and ASPs are stable.

Intel also expects better sales in the third and fourth quarter but wouldn't forecast ASPs
