New trend of processor big fight: The graph of AMD, Intel is right definitely
April 7, 2008
DoNews 4 is commented on 7 days month (take a pen small new) perhaps be ” coincidence ” , company of two big CPU’s biggest 2008 stake is put in the graph to show a side.
Take the lead in of rise in revolt is AMD, this company opens king of former David Wang (still) rising for vice-president of GPG research and development; Raja Koduri rises for officer of GPG chief technology, continue to increase the dominant position of indication chip on one hand, it is the shirt-sleeve ready-made of CPU and GPU on the other hand. AMD calls this kind of shirt-sleeve product ” Fusion ” , draft will odd nucleus and processor of double nucleus X86 and GPU conformity to be on odd chip, “Fusion ” appear the value that reflected AMD to buy ATI, also precede for AMD the competitor created a possibility.
Face AMD ” Fusion ” challenge, intel does not have await one’s doom, spread out can inspect computation to plan to strike back, two ” CPU GPU ” solution body reveals two characteristics that differ severally. AMD ” Fusion ” be mix X86 processor GPU is compositive go up in an odd chip; Intel can inspect computation is processor of X86 of will much nucleus ” Larrabee ” chip gifts GPU shedding handles a function, get on its and Nehalem processor confluence in same chip.
Odd from theoretic look, of Intel can inspect computation to appear more powerful, is the technical difficulty that encounters nevertheless greater also more? It is the function that how lets X86 processor carry out GPU to shed processing above all, be the efficiency when carrying out this shedding to handle next how? According to saying, “Larrabee ” will be much core solution, this may be Intel implements the measure with narrow efficiency to solve X86 processor. Much core although although solved the problem of efficiency, the cost that Er of Dan Ying spy still will face much core and medicinal powder the problem such as heat. Face so numerous problem, the author does not value Intel to be able to be finished in the last few years can inspect calculative Wei a major programme of lasting importance to delimit.
Intel also is pressed in entirely without the chip oneself can inspect computation, the 2nd quarter issues Intel next year with AMD ” Fusion ” the product of same idea, nevertheless graphical processing uses G45 partly compositive graph chip, this graph chip omited the crucial function of DirectX 9 and DirectX 10, with AMD ” Fusion ” photograph of compositive RV7xx series GPU is clearer than difference, at best also can count only Intel is dealt with ” Fusion ” of do sth for the occasion make.
No matter be AMD ” Fusion ” still be Intel can inspect a technology, the confluence that shows CPU and GPU is the new trend that prospective PC technology develops, but the Intel that lacks powerful figure to handle a technology to support has been defeated was in on the scratch line.
