Dawn enters Super ten is separated from the CPU localization

Text/heart of the rock

2008 global top 500 super computer rankings come out for the second time, pick-up of AMD Opteron processors greater aspect than dawning 5000A entered the top ten, and seven of the top ten system using AMD Opteron processors, this is enough to prove properties of Super X86 structure in the supercomputer field.

Both the shining and AMD-related, from which we can see the high-performance chips are divisive, and you can also see AMD's focus on China.

Leader in high performance relies on continuous innovation

Global TOP10 the super computer, there are seven sets of systems using AMD Chip, which also reflects the leading position in high-performance AMD processor, or you can clearly see differentiation in the field of high performance computer solutions is, AMD is becoming a leader in the field.

X86 chip has been developed more than 20 years, many people predicted the computer field it is hard to follow Moore's law continues to move forward, both material and manufacturing workmanship, chip has entered a period of a bottleneck in the area. From 90 nm to 60 nm and 45 nm, and 32 nm chips are becoming more and more small, growing performance, lower power consumption, but also more and more difficult to technology and innovation.

To balance the costs and the balance between innovation, as chip companies are pressing issues. AMD in order to resolve the FSB front side bus frequency cannot be improved to meet on communication bandwidth between the CPU and Northbridge, took the lead in research and development and put into production new technology HyperTransport (HT) to replace the FSB front side bus design, allowing it to the memory controller, disk controllers, and PCI-e bus provides higher data bandwidth between controllers.

In November 2008, AMD first released the 45 nanometer quad-core processors of the most powerful "Shanghai", its performance can improve 35% and reduce standby power consumption by 35%, final performance per watt to enhance as much as 50%. And access to IBM, HP, Dell, SUN, dawn of large OEM companies such as large orders.

Whether in the field of supercomputers, there are more areas of core processors, AMD through continuous innovation to become the industry leader.

AMD appeared rooted Chinese market strategy

In addition, the AMD power Chinese dawning 4000A and 5000A supercomputer TOP500 rankings entered and 5000A also entered the top ten, this is enough to prove that AMD's focus on China, and determined to do the localization of confidence.

Space science and technology, computer technology has been a key measure of national science and technology development indices, China has just completed a manned spacecraft leaves the warehouse job, "God seven" lifted off, proved the strength of science and technology of China to the world. In the field of supercomputers, always is the United States, and Japan of the world. In 2004, AMD is developed in cooperation with dawning company success is based on AMD Opteron processors, calculates the peak speed of up to 10 trillion per second supercomputer dawning 4000A, and achieved outstanding results of the tenth in the world at the time.

The dawning 5000A is also used in China AMD quad-core Opteron processor,, Linpack value 230 trillion in the peak speed of the top ten supercomputers in the world again, again to show the world China's scientific and technological strength, so all Chinese people feel proud.

In addition, in the just-concluded Olympic Games, successfully completed the Olympic village Internet cafe with AMD and Lenovo PC delivery and technical maintenance; AMD prefecture-level city in China to have greater development, multiple system selection, fast into four to six cities in the Interior of China. And in 2005, AMD and China also signed a memorandum of the Ministry of science and technology, AMD microprocessor core low power X86 technology transfers to China. From here, we can see that the AMD on localization strategies of attention and perfection of the Chinese market.

Dawning 5000A into Super is TOP1O, again proved the AMD based China strategy. They want to conduct a thorough localization, this "research and development of soil, local design, local production, local sales, localization services", five localization, so as to effectively meet the needs of Chinese consumers.
