(Sorry, you know I am just kidding about the Schmuck thing — just sounded funny).
We had a briefing from Intel and they have already surpassed AMD again. All of the gains regarding L2/L3/L4 cache is out the door — they are releasing CPU’s that now have all of that memory PLUS DRAM sitting on the CPU, not using a memory controller and therefore not incurring any of the overhead. In addition, they are making disk (SSD) IO directly addressable by the CPU, again bypassing a block controller (ie., a disk controller).
I fear, my friend, that AMD jsut no longer has what it takes. I have numerous friends here in Austin that work(ed) at AMD and they keep laying off the chip designers. CPU’s are no longer making them money — only the GPU’s. They were even dumb enough (like Freescale) to spin off the Memory group — and guess who is making tons of cash making solid state memory??? Not AMD.
I will pray for your CPU-soul to return to the Intel-light. Go toward the light, go toward the light, go toward ……………..
