Intel Moves to Beat AMD in Quad-core Race
Intel is ready to attain leadership in performance and energy efficiency over rival Advanced Micro Devices during the coming months, with processors that continue to be built differently than those of other companies, according to an official with the chip-making giant. Intel was the first to bring out a dual-core processors known as the 'Prescott' and a couple years down the road that move might not have been the best choice possible. I'm not happy with the rumor that Intel is going to launch a part at the sacrifice of some performance just to get its "Clovertown" chip on the market before AMD's offerings. Been there done that and AMD took off with better performing parts.
Speaking at a conference June 13 in New York hosted by analyst firm Bear Stearns Security, Dileep Bhandarkar, architect at large for Intel, in Santa Clara, said that when Intel's quad-core "Clovertown" is released in the first half of 2007, it will be a single package of two dual-core chips, and that the chips will not have the memory controller integrated into the chip.
