It'll probably be a lot more than a point in servers, where AMD's done very well.
brings challenge dollar faces five generation half highlights intel market next past products quarters second share shift truly
The dollar share shift over the past five quarters is truly unprecedented in this market segment, and highlights the challenge Intel faces as it brings next generation products to market in the second half of the year.
approaches core dual focus makers
Processor makers will focus on architectural approaches such as parallelism. They will go from dual core, to quad core to octal core.
deal easier problems space
Right now you have to scrunch things together. If you space out the components, it makes the thermal problems much easier to deal with.
digital technology watch
The digital watch was actually the first important application of CMOS technology.
architecture brings companies evolved few fewer focused high impressive less low performance power software using
Even two years out, I think what P.A. Semi brings out will be impressive because very few companies have focused on high performance and low power for less heat, and fewer still have focused on using the PowerPC architecture with all the software that's evolved for that.
ahead architecture competition face far intel months moves predict soon tougher
AMD will face tougher competition once Intel moves to the new architecture. But it's far too soon to be able to predict who's going to be ahead 18 months from now.
ahead categories clearly customers half lead performance power sensitive year
AMD is clearly ahead on performance and per-watt power advantages, which more and more customers are sensitive to. And for the first half of this year at least, AMD's lead in these categories will accelerate.
changed compete intel market permanent technology viewed
I think the market has changed in a permanent way from ... 2000, when AMD was viewed as a second-tier supplier who didn't have the technology to compete with Intel at all levels.
benefits increasing intel original performance quite theory work
The original theory was Netburst would show increasing performance benefits with increasing frequency. It didn't work quite the way Intel had anticipated.
article clever computer computing faith history industry pc people performance says software somewhere thinking
There are 25 years of PC industry and 40 years of computer industry history that says there is never enough performance. My article in faith is that you will never have enough computing performance for things you want to do. Having said that, there are clever software people somewhere who are thinking of even cleverer things to do.
chip decided dynamite forward larger performance reasons
Tualatin is a dynamite server chip, ... One of the reasons (Intel) decided not to go forward with the Foster-based Xeon chip was because Tualatin, with its larger cache, had better performance in server environments.
chip decided dynamite forward larger performance reasons
Tualatin is a dynamite server chip. One of the reasons (Intel) decided not to go forward with the Foster-based Xeon chip was because Tualatin, with its larger cache, had better performance in server environments.
battery cooling desktop facing kinds life physics similar small tight
When they did the Pentium M, they were under tight constraints on power. Now, desktop and server are facing similar kinds of constraints. It's not so much battery life as it is noise, just the physics of cooling a really hot, small chip.
