AMD, Intel standby multi-core processor server vendors will follow up

CNET Technology Information Network March 31 International report AMD recently updated its own processor products to the 12 core processors.　　Intel is expected to follow the release of a eight-core processor. These processors are above the dual or quad core products that have been in vogue for years. The target products with six cores or more are expensive high-end server computers that need to handle many jobs in parallel.　　Theoretically, the more nuclear, the faster the processing speed, although the software also needs to moderate parallelism, to be able to use these multiple cores.　　Servers using this type of chip are usually combined at least dozens of processors, and hundreds of are normal. The AMD Opteron 6100 series will have eight cores and 12 core versions.　　Large server vendors such as HP, Dell and Cray are expected to release the products that carry these processors.　　AMD 12 Core, 2.3GHZ AMD 6100 processors priced at 1386 U.S. dollars, while 2.4GHz, eight core processors are priced at $744. Earlier this month Intel released a six core processor, which was priced at $1663 for its own Xeon 5680 processor series.　　Intel will release a eight core processor in the near future. Although AMD offers a larger number of cores, Intel's individual cores will perform better than AMD.
