Amd Phenom
AMD tries to cope with the computing capacity than Intel plans to introduce in the future with its Clarkdale, Arrandale and Sandy Bridge. The company reported new details about its roadmap for the platform for financial analysts of the day. In the roadmap, AMD will also speak the future strategy of the company for continued growth in 2010 and beyond. He also announced future solutions for servers, desktop computers and laptops.
Milestones 2009
This year, AMD has become a leader of design innovation, offering financial performance regularly. The company also carried out at different stages 2009 to counter the Intel monopoly.
The various stages are:
1. Creating a semiconductor foundry World's Largest Independent GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
2. Introducing the next generation DirectX 11 capable of ATI HD 5800 and Radeon HD 5700 series graphics cards.
3. It launched its vision of technology for simplify the selection process PC.
4. Implementation of major technology transitions as 40nm and DirectX 11.
5. AMD also launched its 1st and 2nd generation ultra-portable platforms, platform games based on Phenom processors Dragon II and 6-Core Opteron.
In the years ahead, it will expand its momentum with the new server platforms for AMD customers a clear path to industry leadership.
Recently, the two companies have obtained patent rights for a new cross-licensing agreement 5 years, then Intel and AMD can not leave allegations of violation of license agreements before. However, Intel will pay $ 1.25 billion in AMD.
Work Plan for 2010
In 2010, AMD will introduce several new platforms for a balanced performance and superior multimedia capabilities and visual computing.
It will launch its platform for notebook Danube based on quad-core processors and is expected provide more than 7 hours of battery life. For ultra-thin notebooks, AMD plans to introduce its 3G platform also Nile provide at least seven hours of battery life. The two new platforms, Intel platform Arrandale challenge.
In the next server chip Opteron, AMD is expanding its platform Maranello, with chips at Magny-Cours has eight to 12 cores. Its Opteron 4000 Series is the platform codenamed San Marino and Adelaide is expected to offer five fifty-six hearts and two memory channels and participate in rapidly growing segment of Internet and Cloud Computing.
AMD will also feature an industry first six core desktop processor named Leo for players of graphics platform supports DirectX 11 ATI Eyefinity and Technology. It will challenge the processor Intel Clarkdale.
Work Plan for 2011
AMD Fusion: A major plans for the future of AMD is its fusion strategy, which combines the CPU and GPU in a PU, called APU (Accelerated Processing Unit ), A concept which was introduced in December 2006. APU will be available in the second half of 2011, codenamed Bobcat and Dozer, based on the new platform x86 cores.
Intel Sandy Bridge, the planned successor to Nehalem, was launched in 2011 and is a micro-processor architecture based on methods manufacturing 32nm Westmere platform. AMD Fusion platform cons Sandy Bridge.
While target desktop and server market bulldozer, Bobcat handle low-power markets ultra-thin PC. AMD said the two cores are designed to be highly scalable and capable of being united with a circuit of GPU and other intellectual property assets in the implementation of specific APU. The company also develops office Zambezi processor with up to eight nuclei of the excavator platform.
The roadmap for AMD 32nm Llano CITES platform for portable Sabine consumer and desktop PCs in 2011. For ultra-thin notebooks, AMD will provide the platform with the processor Arms Ontario support to 11 of the graphics technology of DirectX.
