BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Intel Server Roadmap Update (on left, click for higher resolution) given to Badhardware and less than month old, shows ambitious multicore plans, that will be supported by Longhorn R2 OS in 2009. Thus, no CSI supported by Microsoft before the year 2009 ! AMD has the whole 2,5 years to prepare K10 and HT 3.0

Microsoft Windows Server roadmap reveals Intel server roadmap too. Among the other things, Intel's New Generation Architecture is not so knew, as if it supposed supposed at badhardware. Actually, Woodrest is not Opteron killer, but only a low power blade server. Its bad I/O is not so restrictive in blade role, but benefits that offers low power processor consumption are much bigger. As you see from picture, Woodcrest will start in 2H and by the end of year finishs its DP top server role. By the end of 2008, Woodcrest will be replaced with a New Xeon Architecture.
What REALLY NEW microarchitecture will use both companies, AMD and Intel, after 2008?
Speculative multithreading.

More details will follow!
