I have to say, this looks like it far exceeds just a shrink of Conroe.
Looks to me like significant architechture changes have been made.
This thing is going to seriously crank, and dang it's a physically puny chip. Intel is going to make a train load of money on these things.
I've attempted to watch the video twice with no luck. I really wish people would stop with the flash based wrappers.
Anyway, I'll have to take your word that's what he said.
Intel dosn't need to resort to Immersion Lithography at 45nm. You can bet they will have to use it at 32nm, unless they pull another major process leap out of their hat.
Actually AMD has never said this is K10.
K10 was supposed to have SMT, "huge" caches, and run at 10Ghz.
In this interview, AMD themselves call this K8L:

I guess they need something to prop up margins.
Half a billion dollar loss - seems the one thing AMD is consistently good at is wiping out years of profit in one quarter.
Well there's your problem. You're getting your reports from the IT analysts and not the financial analysts. I use Gartner for IT product and process reports. I use a full sevice investment banker for financial reports.
Nope.
Look at my post on the subject. I think it was July when my financial advisor sent me the research report, a full two months ahead of Charlie's article.
If you would like to verify, I'm sure you have access to these types of reports. I think mine was $85.
1. No. You are assuming that Intel will have made no improvements in the past year, which is false.
2. No. The power savings were due to architecture changes, not the shrink. I posted three months ago that AMD was having problems at 65nm, which has been proven true with current reports...
Hardly.
I'd say IBM and Sun have the above four cpu market. I don't see too many people buying million dollar AMD systems. Just about everyone on the Fortune 500 has several million dollar IBM systems.
Umm, Intel is on a four year cycle.
The slides for the AMD road map through 2008 are available on the net. The only thing in 2008 is another K8 refresh.
Are you saying it takes AMD 5 years to develop a CPU? If that's the case, then my argument still stands, as you know as well as I do that K9 was cancelled in 2003. There is not a new architecture on the AMD road maps through 2008. Also, it puts AMD in a world of hurt since Intel is on a four...

Fred Weber's presentation at the 2003 Microprocssor forum. Here's his feature list:
Threaded architectures;
Chip level multiprocessing;
Huge scale MP machines;
10GHz operation;
Much higher performance superscalar, out of order CPU core;
Huge caches;
Media/vector processing...
Boinc itself is a client-server application. It uses next to zero cpu time. There's really nothing to optimize as all it does is run the applications provided by the projects.
