While AMD chips are widely used in servers and big units, Intel still holds big dominancy in the small and medium home or office users. Remember the days of golden era? Oh I am talking about the Pentium series from the Intel. The may be old dated now, but I think that they are less complicated then today’s structure. Today when each and every time new processor come the hunt for the next one begins. May be Core Solo or Core 2 Duo, now the processor chips have gone so far that Quad Core is becoming the thing of past.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. abbreviated AMD; an American multinational semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, California, that develops computer processors and related technologies for commercial and consumer markets is ready to launch its so called 12 Core chips soon. The next silicon micro-architecture will be called the Shanghai chip. It will be built on the 45-nanometer process node. Shanghai chip will be same to the Barcelona B3 silicon stepping; only fully-fledged HyperTransport 3.0 clock generator will give this new 12 Core a unique id.
While this chip is a bit away, the upcoming Istanbul processor from AMD is ready to compete with Intel’s Nehalem. So the day is not so far when great computing will start may be form Intel or AMD but on a twelve core chip processor. Can you imagine about the other parts of the computer in which this twelve core processor settle down? May be a 10 GB RAM and 2 or 3 TB of HDD!
