Intel has the core 2. OK, but what is AMD going to do to beat it?

ADE · 11-11-2006, 06:51 PM

We all know that AMD and Intel are to 2 major makers of CPU's, but now that people are going with the Core 2 from Intel, AMD will need to make something to beat it or be right up there with it or they will lose sales over time. What will AMD pull out of the hat thins time to get back up there in the competition? It seams AMD's trademark is to have small GHz, but even smaller pipelines which made them better for a while, but that they have been beaten by their own game, what will they do to be considered competition? Core 2 are the most efficient CPU's in the world, (so says the commercial), but what does AMD have? And what do they have in store? Am I just rambling and repeating the same thing over and over again? maybe.......maybe....

Who knows what AMD will come up with, but they are most definetly developing something right now to get back into the competition. By the way... did you really win the lottery and how much?

ADE · 11-11-2006, 07:05 PM

yes, I won a year supply of nothing.......no, I didn't, just seamed funny at the time.....what do you think it will be like? do you think it will make all core 2 users feel dumb for not waiting, or say, Oh well I content.

Also, Amd still dominates in the server world with their opterons.

yes but isn't there a core 2 called something like the Q6600 or something ( I forget-to lazy to go to my last thread) that is Quad coming out and also that other core 2 that is a quad? I though AMD was trying to be a gaming kind of CPU, not server. I could be wrong, but hay, that's why we come here, to find out answers right?

AMD are working on their quad-core chips, which will be true a quad-core. It's expected for release around mid-2007.

Intels Quad is just going to be two dual cores togather, AMDs is a true 4 separate cores

Though they are working on 4 cores on a single piece of silicon for Q3 of 2007. Code-named Yorkfield.
