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.

advantage average base came crawl demands desktop forward particular pcs percent pressure run several soon south start tends windows
If someone came up with a 64-bit desktop application, then AMD would have an advantage. As soon as the application base on PCs demands more than 4GB to run any particular application, that's when you will start to see pressure on the desktop for 64-bit processors. But the average use for a Windows 98 configuration is just south of 128MB, so we still have several years, as that demand tends to crawl forward at around 50 to 100 percent a year.
challenge forward intel release saying superior technology unlikely
It's very unlikely that Intel would win, ... But once Intel does release that chip, AMD will have the challenge going forward of demonstrating that its dual-core technology is superior to that of Intel, while Intel will be saying to its customers, 'If you want a dual-core processor, we've got it.'
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.

address variety
PIC does a lot of different things. It does address a variety of needs.
intel last performance
I think they're getting back on track. The performance benchmarks that they demonstrated, these are all of the things Intel couldn't do last year.
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.
chips desktop distance intel trying
What Intel is trying to do is put some distance between multiprocessor configurations, which will be Xeon-based, and Pentium 4 chips for the desktop and low-end workstation 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.
exploit multiple performance silicon single winning
Henceforth, those who need more performance must exploit parallelism -- multiple processors, often on a single silicon die. AMD is winning the dual-core server race.
advantage hearing lose market mean narrow next performance six today
What I'm hearing today is that AMD's performance advantage is going to narrow in the next six months, or AMD may even lose its performance advantage. That doesn't necessarily mean they're going to lose market share.
based december forecast four intel mid quarter shock slam weeks
Based on what Intel said in December in their mid quarter update, they should know what's going on, so it's a real shock when they can't forecast four weeks in advance. That should be a slam dunk.
