AMD executive casts doubt on Intel’s dual-core claim
Charles Chou, Taipei; Carrie Yu, DIGITIMES [Thursday 2 June 2005]

Intel’s dual-core platform consists of two separate cores in individual dies packaged together using multi-chip packaging in a single chip, which is not a true dual-core solution, according to Henri Richard, senior vice president for worldwide sales and marketing of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) at Computex 2005 (May 31-June 4).

Although Intel was the first to launch its dual-core processor solution for desktop PCs, Richard commented that a real dual-core processor should be one that integrates two cores onto the same die.

Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and general manager of the Intel Mobile Platforms Group, said that Intel is confident it will ship more than 100,000 dual-core processors in the third quarter and expects shipments will total one million units by the end of the year.

In related news, with regard to market rumors stating AMD plans to start producing chipsets, Richard stated AMD will not enter the market, as the company has good relationships with major chipset makers. He also criticized Intel’s strategies of bundling its products (CPU, chipset and WLAN module) into a single platform.
