Dual core Intel AMD slobber flying close melee

In AMD overbearing "dual core" offensive, Intel finally began to no longer low-key, positive response, the two sides into each side of the interesting situation.

Master lonely monologue into final response stage

AMD and Intel in the "dual core" infighting has lasted for nearly a year earlier in the United States, Singapore, AMD had to put up a pageantry invited Intel "duel Duo", Intel has been ignored. But in the second half of last year, AMD strong launch of the true dual core concept is too lethal, Intel finally began to give a response, and quickly triggered a strong counterattack AMD.

In May 2005, AMD announced that its for server and desktop products for "dual core dual core processor architecture, AMD Henri's" senior vice president of global marketing, Richard has said publicly: Intel's dual core processing platform consists of two core chip in different composition, strictly speaking, this is not the real meaning of dual solutions.

In December 12, 2005, AMD China provoked "I really mad - AMD dual core dual core experience storm" activities, through the online registration methods of recruitment of 96 consumers, superior performance in the subsequent three days to the site designated by the AMD experience AMD Athlon X2 dual core processor and multi tasking ability. According to an online survey on sina.com.cn Intel and AMD and dual core made by AMD, the support rate is three times that of Intel, which makes AMD happy.

"We are all dual core, there is no true and false; AMD on the dual core to create a 'lie'." This is the first time Intel AMD dual core challenge to show the position of the key points.

In this response, Intel has repeatedly stressed its dual core "ancestor" position and it creates proud of the three industry first: "in 1989, we predicted that the chief technology officer of computer chips will enter the core and multi-core era, this is the industry's first dual core concept proposed in 1995; first in the industry to provide dual products in May 2005; first of all, the supply price of the mainstream dual core products." And third party evaluation data shows that the AMD dual core processor in the implementation of multi task performance is very low.

"It is in fact, the report interpret out of context, in the description of dual performance of AMD is better than Intel." The general manager of Intel Chinese North District has poor performance on the argument AMD dual core processor in the execution of multiple tasks, AMD Chinese spokesman said: "Intel said this conclusion from the third party evaluation data, evaluation data in fact many of the media and the third party professional evaluation agencies have proved that AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor whether single task or multi tasking, performance will be better than the Intel dual core processor."

Two strong fighting arena battles or hardly consumers benefit

The extraordinary business of the business behind the war is no longer obvious. Although AMD did not say Intel is "false" Duo, regardless of whether he intends to belittle opponents, AMD hit the "true dual core" concept is to attract consumer attention, experience and understanding of AMD compared with rival great advantage in superb means. And in 2006 as Intel officially showed "double core popularity", if lost this move is worrying situation. But the subtlety of the rivers and lakes is that it is changing rapidly, although now no one dare to predict the future of this friend who is more limelight, but consumers can be sure of profit. The introduction of dual core processor architecture is a major event in the processor market in 2005. Including AMD, Intel, including processor manufacturers, are hoping to enhance the performance of the processor by the introduction of dual core. Not only because of the needs of the application, with the rapid development of technology, even if the two chip giants have a monopoly position in the field of single chip profit margins have been very meager. Therefore, in the attitude of dual core processors, Intel and AMD these two enemies showed a high degree of consistency, have taken a positive attitude.

With Intel, AMD has recently launched a variety of dual core CPU new, dual core concept in the industry gradually warming. Whether it is in the field of servers, notebook or in the field of PC, Intel and AMD in the dual core competition has intensified, resulting in a price war is imminent.

It is understood that, in order to promote the further popularization of dual core processors, Intel will be based on 65 nanometer technology in April 23rd PentiumD9xx dual core processor for sale, the highest decline of up to 50%.

From the AMD website to see, since February 13th, AMD's dual core products will be a substantial price reduction, which Opteron200 and 800 series of products, the largest price reduction, the highest decline of up to 43%. AMD spokesman said, AMD this year every quarter of the Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor cut, at the end of the year to take it from the high-end market really extended to the mainstream market, and the current server dual core processor Opteron AMD price has dropped to close and single Opteron level. In addition, AMD this year will be put under unified interface of a new generation of all processors for M2 940 pin, inventory management AMD spokesman said the move could simplify PC manufacturers, users can be assured of the future smooth and low cost to upgrade.

Analysys International believes that the price of the reasons, one is the dual core technology has matured, dual core processor production line is ready for mass production, production is gradually improving, the mature technology and lower production cost provides the premise for the dual price decline. While Intel and AMD dual core processor market competition to accelerate the price
