What's after am2

11th May 2006, 07:45

Any word on what AMD is plotting to counter Intel's supposed
A64 killer (Conroe)? This new Intel sound like a real beast, how could am2 compete when it can't match s939 performance 1 month from launch? If anyone has a clue please share.

their new CPU design will be under the name "K10" (current is K8, they are skipping K9) , there is not much know about it at this point, from what I've read they plan to introduce this new part Q1 of next year at the earliest.

here's a small blurb about some of the technologies in K10: Retail Computer Purchasing Experiences

thnx,maybe they will use a really beefy chipset to make relatively intelligent decisions on how the code being run should be handled. Kind of like a nice router does with packets in the networking world

I think it's a bit more complex

The AMD K10 is AMD's next generation of processor. Not much is known about it yet as the Athlon 64 (K8) is still a very strong competitor in today's market. It is almost certain however that the K10 will come in dual/quad or even more core configurations. The latest indication is that K10 based chips will arrive on the market during the first quarter of 2008; although the time table could change dramatically for chips that are 24 months from official release.

According to AMD’s Fred Weber, the paramount forces to be deployed by the next-generation chips, such as AMD K9, AMD K10, etc are as follows:

* Threaded architectures;
* Chip level multiprocessing;
* Huge scale MP machines;
* 10GHz operation;
* Much higher performance superscalar, out of order CPU core;
* Huge caches;
* Media/vector processing extensions;
* Branch and memory hints;
* GHz performance IO;
* Security and virtualization;
* Static and dynamic power management.

That's really complex stuff. If only they had a magic bot program that could rewrite code to natively support multi-threading on the fly. If someone comes up with a super algorithm for this they will
be rich (or dead if AMD engineers decide to steal it by hiring assassins)

I think Intel will send the assasins then. Conroe is single-core minded again.

is that why they call it Duo 2 Core
