Earlier news here _____________________________________________ 02/09/04 - Strong Q4 sales for semiconductors "After a year of downbeat 'steady recovery' statistics, the SIA has revealed that yearly sales for 2003 totalled $166.4bn, up 18.3 per cent on the $140.8bn generated in 2002.". Read more at vnunet here _____________________________________________ 02/09/04 - Sun, HP enhance servers "But Sun is going a step further. In detailing plans for its Opteron-based servers, it said it will ultimately produce an eight-way system based on the 64-bit processor from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. It may become difficult for many companies to ignore the Opteron chip, which is finding a home in Linux clusters and impressing users.". Enjoy the rest at ComputerWorld here _____________________________________________ 02/09/04 - Underdog AMD did a Hyundai "AMD has tossed down its gauntlet and Intel, with its massively abundant resources, has a wide array of weapons to counter," Whittington said. Still, "this leaves AMD two, three, even four or five years of 64-bit `running room' in which they could rack up record yardage.". Another piece of AMD history at Toronto Star here _____________________________________________ 02/09/04 - OSDL expects Microsoft to port apps to Linux "OSDL CEO said, "As Linux continues to grow, Microsoft will port some of their applications to run on Linux." There has been speculation about this for years, and this is still speculation, but Cohen is head of an organization that says it is "increasingly being recognized as the center-of-gravity for the Linux industry," and is rapidly proving himself at least as effective a Linux marketer as the freckle-faced boy in IBM's Linux ads, so his speculations carry more weight than most". Read at NewsForge _____________________________________________ 02/08/04 - HyperTransport 2.0 specification released HyperTransport Technology Consortium today announced a major new release of the HyperTransport Technology I/O Link Specification. The HyperTransport Release 2.0 Specification introduces 3 more powerful bus speeds and mapping to PCI Express, an emerging I/O interconnect architecture. HyperTransport’s speed capability extends from the 1.6 Giga Transfers/second (GT/s) of Release 1.1 Specification to 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8GT/s using dual-data rate clocks at 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4GHz, delivering a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 22.4GB/s. The electrical protocols supporting the new clock rates are backward compatible with all previous versions of the HyperTransport electrical specifications. _____________________________________________ 02/08/04 - AMD design will kill competition "The next decade is likely to see the AMD64 based PC become almost omnipresent. On everything except mobile devices, it fits every need. The grand shake out of other processors has already begun but now the pace will accelerate. In many ways it will be sad to see so many far nicer architectures disappear. At least there will be less fundamental change in the industry a decade from now, the x86-128 will be much less of an upset.". A great Sunday from the inquirer's Arron Rouse here. _____________________________________________ 02/07/04 - Barebone & motherboard reviews of the day 1 - Soyo CK8 Dragon Plus at GamePyre - Price 2 - Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP K8T800 at neoseeker - Price 3 - MSI KM4M-L + AMD XP 2500+ bundle at 134$ here 4 - Corsair PC3200 DDR400 at less than 80$ here 5 - Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum at less than 72$ here _____________________________________________ 02/07/04 - Windows XP 64-Bit previews - - see windows XP special here with previews and links - _____________________________________________ 02/06/04 - Barebone & motherboard reviews of the day 1 - Biostar iDEQ200P SFF at Thor's Hardware - Price 2 - EPoX 8RDA3+ vs. Jetway boards at AllRound-PC - Price 3 - nForce2 Ultra 400 duel at AllRound-PC - Price 4 - ECS N2U400a nForce2 Ultra 400 at AllRoundPC - Price 5 - Foxconn 755A01 SIS 755 preview at OCworkbench 6 - Asus A7N8X-E nForce2 U400 at Hot Hardware - Price 7 - Abit AN7 µGuru vs. Abit NF7-S 2.0 at PCTweak - Price 8 - AOpen AK86-L K8T800 board at AnandTech - Price 9 - Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum at less than 72$ here _____________________________________________ 02/06/04 - Re-marked AMD chips seized in Metro Manila "Simultaneous raids conducted Thursday by computer processor maker AMD on four shops in Metro Manila yielded fake chips that were previously reported to have found their way into the local market. According to R.V. Domingo and Associates, legal representative of AMD in the Philippines, the shops were Dreamchum PC Specialists and West Avenue Computer in Quezon City; PC Express in Shaw Boulevard; and Villman Computers in Makati City.". Read at Philippines Inquirer here _____________________________________________ 02/06/04 - Rivals vie for IT's high ground "Becknell commented, "Intel has had a strong grip on the market for years, and has been able to set the pricing and direction. But with 64bit chips, AMD has beaten it to the punch. If Microsoft comes out with the 64bit version of Windows soon then [both technologies] could well take off. It will happen when there is the right combination of processor and operating system.".

AMD has also been named the official technology partner of the Ducati Marlboro Team at an international news conference held this week by Ducati Corse in Bologna, Italy. The Ducati Corse Technical Department will employ AMD64 technology for computer-intensive applications like CAD/CAE, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations, and engine design simulations. _____________________________________________ 02/05/04 - Opteron board IWILL DK8X now certified Today, IWILL and AMD announce that IWILL DK8X has been got through AMD’s internal validation and been qualified as the most stable and powerful Opteron platform. This time IWILL again introduces brand new workstation platform powered by dual Opteron processors for those professional computer users who yearn for 64-bit computing for a long time... _____________________________________________ 02/05/04 - Prescott offers 'indiscernible gains' "That will then allow the company to reach the clock speeds where Prescott's 31-stage pipeline comes into its own and starts to deliver the real performance gains - and the lead over the Athlon XP that Whittington is complaining is absent now. And Prescott's longer pipeline does favour content creation apps, which Intel is particularly keen to tout. ". At the Register here _____________________________________________ 02/05/04 - Chipmakers break Low k barrier New cutting-edge devices use low k dielectrics as an insulation material that allows smaller, tightly spaced interconnect wires to move electronic signals through the device at multi-gigahertz speeds. Low k enhances speed gains and offers the critical advantages of reduced power consumption with lower crosstalk for heightened performance. The benefits of low k are also demonstrated in AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors, whose advanced performance powers some of the world's fastest and most demanding servers, supercomputers, and desktop and notebook PCs...
