Some Barcelona K10s to have 45W TDP
Budapest is K10 with HT3
AMD 45 nm Shanghai up and running
Intel to challenge K10 with 45 nm parts
... At 65 nanometre native quad core AMD can hit 45W TDP ... The core that can hit these speeds will be clocked to 1.9 GHz or less ... Some parts will have 68W TDP ...this means that these parts will be supper overclockable after all ...
Budapest is K10 with HT3
After Barcelona comes Budapest ... in socket AM2+ flavour and will be known as Opteron 1000 series. It will have Hypertransport 3.0 ...
AMD 45 nm Shanghai up and running
AMD already has some prototypes of Shanghai native quad core at 45 nm and 6 MB of L3 cache. This unit won't go in production till sometimes next year but at least the marchitecture works.
Sources close to company also confirmed that AMD can 45 nanometre parts without changing the fabs so the usual suspect Dresden fab will get a line to produce these parts.
Intel to challenge K10 with 45 nm parts
Intel knows that AMD has a very powerful CPU and that K10 has a very good performance per watt figures. It also scores really well for its clock speed.
But Intel can go beyond 3GHz as soon as it goes to 45 nanometre. Harpertown the first Intel's 45 nm server part is scheduled for Q4 2007 but the real game starts with Yorkfield in Q1 2008.
AMD should not be that far away with its 45 nanometre production as it is currently on the schedule to start the product in first half of 2008. With Shanghai and Montreal out the game is on, one more time.
