| AMD unveil Dual-Core Athlon 64 |
| Thursday, February 24, 2005 at 10:14 by Kathleen Hill |
Computer chip manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) yesterday demonstrated a dual-core AMD Athlon 64 processor, manufactured on 90nm technology.
Future dual-core AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems will offer a large productivity and performance increase, as well as a hassle-free upgrade path from existing single-core platforms. The dual-core AMD64 technology enables advanced multi-tasking capabilities and extended multimedia performance. For example, users will be able to burn CDs or DVDs, while simultaneously unzipping compressed files, and encoding some high-resolution videos.
Marty Seyer, general manager at AMD said,
"AMD's leadership with dual-core processor technology follows our success with 64-bit computing - both innovations illustrate our strategic focus to solve customer challenges and deliver technology breakthroughs to fuel the possibilities of tomorrow. Client AMD64 dual-core technology will provide consumers and businesses a customer-centric approach with systems that deliver enhanced performance and a simple, non-disruptive upgrade path from single-core solutions."
Because AMD uses existing manufacturing processes to produce the dual-core AMD64 processors, they are designed to fit into the current motherboard sockets. AMD's dual-core processors offer "Direct Connect Architecture" which connects multiple processors, the memory controller and the I/O Bus directly to the CPU, helping to eliminate the bottlenecks in the Front Side Bus.
AMD plans to bring dual-core AMD64 processors, based on the existing 939-pin socket, to the market in the second half of 2005.

| Eat That Intel!!!
AMD is the perfect example of a market economy at its best. A comparatively small company that routinely kicks the crap out of the big dog through innovation and plain old hard work. |
