AMD to integrate PCIe on CPU

[biostud]

L'Inq

Interesting.

 

[SynthDude2001]

Wow. :Q

 

[biostud]

Guess that will have to wait for next upgrade 😉

 

[Acanthus]

I hope it doesnt infringe on Rambus RaSer technology.

It's The Inquirer. Don't trust em. I don't. I think it's bogus. If it's true, that'd be a pain in the ass. I want my trusty AGP! 😛

The S1207 is aimed at professionel work, so don't expect it to show up at a PC near you 😛

S1207 is for servers and workstations. I build both. I use both. I don't use a workstations for graphic power, thus an AGP card suffices.

LOL .. WTF .. why not integrate everything into the CPU including hard drives 😛

But you might gain extra speed on I/O operations with other types of cards on the PCIe bus. Not many cards atm but I guess they will come. And when you build such machines I don't think a cheap PCIe card will alter the price much, compared to a cheap AGP card. 😛

Well, some people are like "?2500 for this workstation? Okay.", and you tell them that they could get much better graphics for a measy ?100 extra, and their like "Go fvck yourself". So..

You'd still be able to have AGP if someone made a Northbridge with AGP support 😛
Maybe we'll see easy 4 slot graphics boards, or true dual 16x PCIe slots on boards if people use the CPU and NB PCIe lanes.

The PCIe bus isn't just used for graphics. They can also run the ethernet off of the bus. I am sure AMD wouldn't do this if it weren't worth it! Have some faith in it.

Not to mention the upcoming onslaught of TRUE hardware RAID cards.

I can't see this benefiting gaming performance that much, due to the one-way nature of the traffic between the CPU and GPU.
As I understand it, the GPU simply receives data from the CPU and tries to output that data as quickly as possible into frames, in a continuous way. Memory access on the other hand is much more back and forth and intermittent, and is therefore more greatly affected by latency.

I don't know, since with technology like turbocache and hypermemory, they might be able to take advantage of the huge increase in bandwith that an ondie video controller will allow. Also, AMD was not the first to think of ondie video controller. Intel was, but they scrapped the project. Looks like their ceos and executives are kicking themselves right now or something.

uhm, it's not an on-die video controller, it's an on-die bus controller.

There is also talk of AMD integrating a graphics core onto the die too, for low-cost systems.
It seems AMD are really pushing this system-on-a-chip idea.
