On November 17, 2008, Sunnyvale, California-AMD today announced that its quad-core AMD Opteron? Processor for "Leopard" (Jaguar) power, which is the world's first break the petaflops mark floating point computing, based entirely on x86 super computer. AMD Opteron processors are now the world's top 10 Super 7 provides powerful computing power in a computer system.
See how this news my first reaction is not Intel, perhaps because on chip King Intel barrage of publicity makes me heart's image had been cured. While I have considerable understanding of AMD, but technically, how many are affected by long-term publicity and prejudices. In fact, what kind of chip, we might listen to dealers of excessive advertising, too much publicity (because most dealers will recommend more expensive), but there is no real technical considerations.
Really choose which chip manufacturer is the best, most say it is precisely the best of the super computer research and development, because only they will know, super computer chip can use them more more fierce, Dragon Ball z burst limit. On the field of supercomputers, perhaps we are most familiar with is our own research and development of dawning super computer. Read the latest news is not difficult to find, is precisely the AMD join forces with the dawn, launched the computing capacity of more than 200 trillion dawning 5000A supercomputer, the Supercomputing again rushed into China in the world.
Facts always speak louder than words, for a long time, AMD has been his main effort in the pursuit of faster and better finishing on top of the peak of technology. On the dual-core technology, AMD is the original promoters, and once on the 64-bit and dual-core technology-leading Intel.
And this year, on September 18, AMD announced started a item name for "The Future is Fusion" (future belonging to fusion) of enterprise brand promotion plan, plan will CPU and GPU both combination up, will in performance Shang brings across type of upgrade, maximum to release computer user of limit using, then split chip manufacturing part, makes AMD continued has 30 years of research and development and manufacturing one of commercial mode declared end, to has spot Yu research and development and generation workers products of new mode. This move allows AMD to concentrate all attention is on top of the technology research and development and upgrading, and is bound to keep improving their products.
Doing so results are obvious, with its latest products, for example, quad-core AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL785 G5 when running SQL Server 2008 in record data management and analysis of test results have been achieved, this result confirms AMD-Microsoft's commitment to performance and high scalability of the solution. At the same time, low power, high performance quad-core Opteron? processors and 2,356, respectively in the 2-and 4-way server SPECweb?2005 test, created two Web performance world records, shows their meeting a few days ago based on high-traffic Web service on the increasingly demanding needs of Super ability. This indicates that the quad-core AMD Opteron processor provides Web-based dynamic business with the ideal platform to be prepared for peak load, increase server utilization, lowest data center energy consumption, so as to bring ideal infrastructure for next generation of Web2.0 applications.
This is a leap forward, which will allow technology that only take the concept of decisive significance in the chip wars become AMD finally shake Intel's dominance, and successfully reversed the best weapon in the form. Battle of chips in the future, will be more beautiful.
