AMD launches the first 6 core Opteron processor next year

AMD is expected to launch its first 45-nanometer native 6 core Istanbul processor early next year, from AMD's data to motherboard manufacturers to determine that AMD will launch further in 2010 12http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/ Aggregation/3513.html "> Core processor, AMD server/Workstation Global Business development manager John Fruehe says AMD is not currently commenting on the Istanbul processor. John Fruehe said the company expects to launch 4 core Full-circle processors in the second half of the year without delaying shipments.

AMD native 6 core as soon as early next year

    AMD originally expected to launch the first 45 NM 4 core processor full-circle in the second half of this year, data from the motherboard vendors previously indicated that it had been postponed until the 1th quarter of 2009. But AMD in the media briefing, is to deny the news, "quad core Full-circle processor will be in the second half of the year to ask the city." John Fruehe said. It is understood that the 45nm Full-circle processor supports HyperTransport 3.0 bus technology, supporting IPC (instructions per Clock Cycle, instruction/clock cycle), built-in 6MB L3 shared cache.

    AMD is expected to launch the Full-circle processor in the fourth quarter of this year, which will compete directly with the Intel 6 core Dunnington processor. To this end, AMD is planning to launch the first 6 core Istanbul processor as soon as early next year to pull up the sales and buy points of the AMD Opteron processor. The biggest difference between

    AMD and the Intel 6 core processors is that AMD uses the native 6 core architecture and contains the Barcelona processor core architecture to support HT (Hyper-transport bus) HyperTransport) 1.0 with DDR2 memory. The Istanbul processor uses the socket F (1207) slot to be compatible with the Barcelona processor's motherboard, which, in contrast, extends the life of the socket F.

    Intel's 6 core processor Dunnington is expected to be launched in the 4th quarter of this year, will encapsulate 3 dual core processors, each 2 core share 3MB L2 cache, each processor L3 cache will reach 12MB or 16MB capacity.

2010 AMD launched the 12 core processor

    AMD was originally expected to launch 4 core Montreal processors in the first half of 2009 and launch 8 core Montreal processors in the second half of the year. However, according to the motherboard manufacturer's data, AMD determined will not launch the Montreal processor, but in 2010 directly launched the next generation of Istanbul processor, the core number will have two versions, respectively, 6 core and 12 core--sao Paolo processor Socket G34 interface, 6 Core design, support DDR3 memory, support HyperTransport 3.0 bus technology, AMD also launched a 12 core processor,Code-named Magny Cours, in fact, the processor is composed of two Sao Paolo "combination".

    AMD's 12 core processors, with 2 6 cores on a single chip, will be AMD's first non-native, multi core architecture with new feet to support the next generation of HyperTransport 3.0 and 4 channel DDR3 memory.

    expected in the second half of 2009, Intel will launch the 45 nm 8 core Nehalem-ex (Beckton) processor, which will be Intel's first Nehalem architecture processor, with a similar AMD HyperTransport's QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology enhances the communication speed of each core. In addition, the execution thread will be raised to 8, and, more importantly, the L3 cache will increase significantly to 24MB, increasing the operational efficiency of the execution, while the power consumption is not significantly different from the previous core microarchitecture and is maintained at 90 Watts ~130 Watts.

Single-platform "Suzuka" (Suzuka)

    One-way Opteron 1000 series, AMD is ready to release "Suzuka" (Suzuka) in the second quarter of next year, using the same socket G34 interface to support DDR3 memory, with 6MB three level cache, support AMD-V virtualization technology, but HyperTransport 3.0 bus is only a single channel. The processor is part of the Catalunya platform, and the chipset will be based on AMD's own rs780s and sb700s, which is now a server version of the Desktop 7 series.
