AMD/IBM announce 25% speed boost

AMD and IBM announce possible faster chips

AMD and IBM have announced that they have discovered technology to allow chips to have a 25% speed boost....see linky above

"The new manufacturing technique, which the companies are calling Dual Stress Liner, will help improve performance on chips from both companies starting early next year. IBM and AMD claim they are the first to show simultaneous performance improvements on both positive and negative transistors using conventional materials."

Anybody know if this will work with older S754 boards?

There likely would be an answer to this at the end of the IED meeting. Sounds interesting. Maybe AMD is going to cross the 3 GHz mark next year. In either case, it will actually give me a reason to upgrade my 754 core.

DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE

Jesus...

I found another aticle here, was about to post it, hehehe

Very interesting stuff, dual strained... If you actually know what it is talking about, it is very impressive what they are doing.

I didn't see any info about what cores they were integrating too.

From your article however they do.

The chip maker intends gradually to integrate the strained silicon technology into all its 90nm processor platforms, including its future multi-core AMD 64 processors. The first 90nm AMD 64s using the technology are scheduled for the first half of 2005.

Yes I did, and yes I know what they were talking about. I asked a simple question.
 
Does anyone know if this will make current speed grades faster or allow transition to high speed grades easier?

i.e. will a 2.6 GHz processor with this technology be faster than one produced today or will it just allow AMD to bump the frequency to 2.8 (and above) easier.

Thank you.




 
Definately will make the processor market more interesting....wonder what intel will come up with to combat it....

What's the betting that intel includes an on-die memory controller on their next lineup of chips...?
 
IBM plans to introduce the technology on multiple 90nm processor platforms, including its Power Architecture-based chips, with the first products slated to begin shipping in the first half of 2005.

Good, I want a 1.8+ GHz PowerBook with a low power G5 asap.

Thats what I want to know.... make it faster and easier to bump up the MHZ ....or faster at the same clock rate?
 
Easier to bump Mhz. AFAIK to make a CPU do more per clock cycle requres a re-design of the CPU, while this is a different way to produce the transistors so the can work up to 24% faster without malfunctioning.
strained silicon techniques on both positive and negative transistors they can improve transistor speed by as much as 24 percent

haha, nice to know technology is chugging along just fine. in 2 more yearas, i'll upgrade my 754 to one of these new chips. but maybe dual-cores will be out by then? =D
 
Once again AMD's partnering with others pays off. Intel needs to get out of the house more often, their Paranoid Privacy is causing Myopotism(sp).
