AMD Quad Core Processors,

Digg it !!!




Expand to Making the Computer of your Dreams

Out of the box, this processor runs at a blazing speed of 2500 MHz. It comes with four 512KB of L2 cache memory, which runs along with a shared 2MB of L3 cache memory. Its memory controller is designed to be separately overclocked as well, so overclockers can look forward to raising the performance level of this processor powerhouse. Overclocking results can go considerably higher, too, if you were to rig up your PC with an adequate air or water cooling system.

The chip maker previews a multicore design it says will increase the performance of its Opteron server chips without consuming more power.Advanced Micro Devices says its new chip design will boost processor performance without increasing power consumption.
The Sunnyvale, Calif., chip maker on May 16 previewed a quad-core processor design the company said it will use to create higher-performing Opteron chips, in addition to boosting some of its other chip lines, during 2007.
AMD, which has recently been gaining market share over its rival Intel, aims to keep the pressure on with the quad-core design, which incorporates a number of new features.
"We actually have had to do a lot of work on a per-core basis to lower [power consumption]," said Senior AMD Fellow Chuck Moore, who spoke at the Spring Processor Forum in San Jose, Calif., where the new design was announced.As a result, the quad-core Opterons will offer the same power consumption levels as AMDs current dual-core Opterons—most of which use about 90 watts—despite the extra cores, Moore said.


To achieve that goal, AMDs quad-core designs will incorporate a number of new elements. Among them are redesigned processor cores, extra onboard cache and the addition of a higher-bandwidth version of the HyperTransport interconnect. AMD will also mint the chips using its forthcoming 65-nanometer manufacturing process, Moore said in his presentation.
The processor core revisions are designed to allow each core to do more work per clock cycle. AMD also beefed up the floating-point units, generally used for number-crunching and multimedia-extension processing capabilities associated with the cores.
