Earlier news here ____________________________________________ 02/28/05 - Eight new members joined HT Consortium The HyperTransport Technology Consortium, a nonprofit industry organization that manages and promotes low-latency HyperTransport technology, today announced eight companies have become Consortium members. The new industry members include CPU Technology, Inc., Cray Inc., Dolphin Technology, Inc., Fabric7 Systems, Inc., HDL Design House, Iwill Corporation, Mitsui Zosen System Research, Inc. and Triolin, Inc. We have more here ____________________________________________ 02/28/05 - Open Platform Management Architecture AMD today announced the release of the Open Platform Management Architecture (OPMA) specification that defines a common hardware interface between the server platform and its server management subsystem. This specification will provide hardware vendors with a more flexible approach to system management when designing their commercial grade server products.

After announcing its 100 millionth chipset for AMD platform, VIA is releasing today a new notebook chipset with Integrated Unichrome Pro graphics. The VIA K8N800A is intended to be used in thin and light machines sporting Sempron, Athlon 64 or Turion 64 as said in the press release found here. On its side, HP is preparing a range of new Athlon 64 notebook intended to replace the HP zv5000z and Compaq R3000Z series. First models to show up are the HP zv6000Z here and the Compaq R4000Z here. During yesterday Goldman Sachs CC AMD released lots of very positive news and we found some echoes at inquirer here and in a great Yahoo! AMD board post here. Obviously AMD is on track to get its 65nm process up and running on time and flash remains a very hot product, even though rumors of Spansion spinoff are getting louder as revealed by Bloomberg here. While server blade market is rising fast as explained here, Dell, the only company losing market share in this particular area (CNET), is now facing a class action suit for bait-and-switch practice. ZDNet has the report here and it's all about advertising low-cost PC that are rarely available... Hard to mimic emachines without AMD no? ____________________________________________ 02/24/05 - 64-Bit MSC.Nastran 15% faster than 32-Bit Simulation software MSC.Nastran on AMD Opteron-based systems has demonstrated performance improvements of up to 15% compared to similar engineering simulations run on a 32-bit architecture. "Many of our customers use our software to solve extremely large engineering problems and MSC.Nastran for AMD Opteron-based systems can help them solve these problems faster and even tackle extremely large problems they may have not been able to attempt before," said Bill Weyand, chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. Read more here ____________________________________________ 02/24/05 - No Dell, Athlon 64 FX scaling, IBM numbers, etc. One step forward, two steps back, the Dell-AMD catch-me-if-you-can-affair is turning sour again and Google has a lot of news about that here. While Dell plays catch-up, IBM's numbers, in server and blade, keep on going up as you may discover in CNET here. Also doing pretty well, Cray inked another Opteron-XD1 deal at the National Institutes of Health as explained here. Cray will undoubtedly benefit the most of the coming dual-core Opteron.Higher perfs with lower consumption as explained in Var Business here, is something that is going to have a smashing impact on supercomputer design. Now take a break, tea or coffee, and rejoin our Hexus friend, Ryszard, who did a terrific job in testing the scaling potential of all grades of Athlon 64 FX to reach some new level of perfomance (FX61!). Enjoy the work here and get yourself a post-X-mas present here ;). This Hexus report is very near Hardware Analysis' hardware analysis here where it only took a Pentium 4 at 5.2GHz to match AMD's puppy's level of performance! Bye bye Dell! ____________________________________________ 02/23/05 - AMD buys Shboom, Athlon 64 OC, Toledo, etc. On the day VIA shipped its 100Millionth chipset for AMD platform, AMD is willing to squeeze Intel a bit more and gobbled the Shboom rights from Patriot as explained here. French Matbe is toying with an Athlon 64 and teach us how to overclock the animal to the point it won't recognize its mother... board... Here. Talking of performance, AMD is planning today a demo of Toledo dual-core and CNET's Michael Kanellos is inviting us here. If you can't join and meet Fred Weber, talented AMD CTO, you can still have a chance to read his mind in an interview ZDNet has here. It shows a great deal of confidence in AMD's future: "I must admit I think we have better (processor) architectural taste.". Before the dual-core war will heat up, AMD is reinforcing the Middle-East and Africa troups with the nomination of a new general manager for the region. According to AME Info here, his name is Tarek Heiba and during his past 17 years in ME he had key positions at Dell, Compaq and Sun. ____________________________________________ 02/22/05 - Motherboards & barebones reviews of the day - SUN V40z 4-way Opteron server at AnandTech - Price - Abit KV8 Pro v1.1 VIA K8T800 at InsaneTek - Price - Kingston 512 MB DDR SDRAM 400 MHz starting at 65$ - ASUS A8N SLI w/ Dual 6600GT OC at VR-Zone - Price - Shuttle XPC SN25P nForce4 SFF at Tech-Report - Price - Soyo KT880 Dragon 2 VIA T880 at Fast Lane HW - Price - New!

Windows 64-bit RC2 in now ready for download here and Germand site au-ja is previewing the animal in a Google translation found here. Willing to keep up with the chipset saga, DigiTimes here has soberly revealed the shipment of no less than 20000 SiS756 while Iwill, firing on all cylinders, is releasing a bunch of exciting links: First, an amazing K8ES gallery and a DK8EW big shot here, second, the H8501, a lovely 5U 8-way server here followed by a thiner 4-way version the H4103 here, and finally, a list of the freshest BIOS for SFF ZMAXdp and ZPC64 here. Broadcom, one of the first HyperTransport adopter, announces the first single-chip, HyperTransport-based server I/O controller with RAID5 functionality here. AMD is releasing in Japan Socket 754 90nm Sempron at 2600+, 2800+ and 3000+ speed grade and APH has the first pictures here. Those chips are intended to replace the aging Socket A counterpart, which, according to inquirer here, will not be delivered anymore after March of this year. Sad end of a great era...
