- AMD's new roadmap: Can it execute?
- AMD has revamped its server processor roadmap with plans to jump to six and then 12 cores in the first half of 2010, but the larger question is whether the company can actually deliver. Given that AMD has had a hard time delivering its quad-core chips and...

- AMD can't get to 45nm fast enough. A 12-core package?
- If there was a bright spot in AMD's first quarter, it was the new PC and graphics products that have either recently shipped or are in the pipeline for 2008. Barcelona, the company's quad-core design manufactured using a 65nm process, bombed last year. Meanwhile, Intel is minting millions of 45nm...

- Could 3Leaf's Virtual Compute Environment Grow on You?
- B.V. Jagadeesh, CEO of 3Leaf Systems, and I had a long, interesting discussion of what it would take to create the proper hardware platform for an agile, highly reliable, high performance environment using industry standard components when and wherever possible. It was pretty clear that that path requires the creation...

- AMD Phenom X4 9850
- From a do-it-yourself perspective, we're mostly unimpressed with AMD's new 2.5GHz Phenom X4 9850 quad-core desktop processor. This $235 CPU comes in only $10 less than Intel's comparable quad-core chip, but with noticeably slower performance on almost every one of our tests. Even the new Phenom's unlocked multiplier, which enables...

- AMD releases Quad and Triple core Phenom processors
- [UPDATE: Are triple-core Phenom processors just failed quad-core units? I've been asked this question several times today and to get a definitive answer I approached Scott Carroll, AMD Public Relations, for an official response. Me: "Scott, are triple-core Phenom processors just failed quad-core units?" Scott: "No...

- AMD Shanghai won't get hypertransport 3
- HyperTransport 3 which was once slated for AMD's Barcelona server processors seem to be delayed again on Shanghai until some time in 2009 when it finally arrives for the "Montreal" quad- and octal-core CPUs. According to page 21 of Mario Rivas' slides, the roadmap clearly indicates AMD's first 45nm processor...

- Leaked - AMD Barcelona versus Intel Clovertown and Tigerton
- [UPDATE 9/10/2007 - My leaked extrapolated scores below are now officially confirmed on SPEC.org for Integer and Floating Point. Since I only had two significant figures on percentage gain to work off of from the leaked slides, I was off by up to 0.3 which is to be expected. AMD's official Barcelona launch announced newer scores...

- Does AMD 'Average CPU Power' metric have legs?
- With AMD's launch of Barcelona comes a new metric: Average CPU Power. While the Average CPU Power (ACP) metric reflects a need--everyone wants to know how much power servers are gobbling up--it won't gain significant traction until others follow suit. Until then, ACP is marketing for...
