AMD rolls out brief details on its native quad-core K10 CPU architecture. Phenomenal.

Per core voltage adjustment might lead to some great clocking. otherwise good news for everyone who plumped for AM2 I guess.
Wiki apparently has release dates/ speed gradings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K10
Sounds good, when can we actually buy them tho...
It does look interesting, especially that per core voltage thing. :)
Can't wait to see what these babies can do, from what I've heard the will demolish the Core 2 Duos and Quads...
The wiki says August availability, if it's accurate, I'd expect places like Scan to get them in shortly after..Quote:

fudzilla, 25 - 33% faster than quads. iircQuote:

/gets his sceptical head on.
I love AMD...but i'd await the facts myself.
same, but im fairly optimal it will perform as good as those core 2'sQuote:

Take anything you read at Fudzilla with a huge pinch of salt guys.
I want AMD to give intel a run for their money but since the AMD/ATI merger they seem to be going downhill :(
I don\'t trust the 25-33% figure anymore then the lawyers I work for :rolleyes:
well worded.Quote:

The Wiki link is poo...I stopped reading the second I saw "10GHz" and "huge cache"
"In 2003, AMD outlined the features for upcoming generations of microprocessors after K8 family of processors in various events and analyst meetings, including the Microprocessor Forum 2003 [6]), the outlined features to be deployed by the next-generation microprocessors are as follows:"Quote:

a bit further down the page..
"However, as of 2006, some of the original outlined features had been abandoned, examples as the high processor clock speed due to thermal limitations"
Which is what Intel found out with the death of the P4 line - you just couldn't push it any further - hence AMD's ethos of "work smarter, not faster" was adoped by evolving the Pentium M architecture into C2D etc.
The document is merely setting up the events which lead to the "K10" architecture.
Which you might have discovered if you'd bothered to read it properly.
