BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Nothing new at the latest AMD Tokyo presentation. Literally, except 65nm low power consumption production starting early in 2007. Nothing radically will change at AMD until mid of 2008. Then it is expected Rev2 of Core G and HT 3.0 . But, hmm I never heard for revision of revision. :)
Beside low power, we could expect low prices too. Not appealing to you? But what is more important than that, in situation when further performance rise is limited? Could AMD go beyond 3Ghz effectively?. No not at all.

Then, Intel will brake AMD? How? By its much bigger production capabilities and smaller cores, due to lower applied geometries, as all we know. Well, let check first what we actually know about that. AMD has now in reach 3 fabs, 2 of them are 300mm and 65nm. Thus, Intel has no any competition smashing production powers like it had in 2001. But, it has 65nm production and AMD has not, thus its core will be smaller and consequently its production bigger. Wrong again. AMD will start 65nm by the end of year, and no more any advantage of that type for Intel. Quite contrary. AMD 65nm SOI is much better in power consumption terms than Intel's 65nm bulk. Thus, all Intel myths are busted. Add to that possible negative effects of forthcoming anti monopoly case and dying Itanium low blows. Than, think about again.
