They should try getting a working 65nm quad-core first, don't you think?Posted on Nov 11, 17:53
They could do an Intel and package two chips together to give an 8 core almost straight away. Intel would be unable to answer that.Posted on Nov 10, 10:51
But lots of programs aren't even optimized for that many cores at the moment, so having 8 cores won't necessarily make AMD better off...Posted on Nov 10, 07:16
8-cores? It is already very costly to make "native" quad core it has been proven that there is no performance gain. How can AMD make 8-core CPU? a 560 mm^2 die?Posted on Nov 10, 00:35
ahahaha... too late... Nehalem can already do 8 cores and if you add in HT... that will be 16 cores = 16 threads...Plus... if AMD can't do 4 cores in a timely manner... How are you going to do 8 cores?

If I was AMD I would just skip over quad-core's and go to 8 core's and make Intel play catch up. MHz is pretty much dead its going to be how many core's they can cram on to one chip and how many flops they can do.Posted on Nov 8, 23:10
Do we know how these hold up clock for clock against Core 2 parts?
