AMD introduced the new generation chip architecture

" Not only focusing on changing the core design each year, we aim for a bigger strategy: the overall performance of the system, " said Chuck Moore, a senior AMD executive.

AMD's new structure-based processing equipment, expected to be available in 2007, will be equipped with 4-core and high-speed HyperTransport input / output technology. The recently completed HyperTransport 3.0 version can perform 5.2 billion data transfers per second.

One of the biggest changes is the cache - the integrated cache in the processing device for quick access to data. AMD chips now have 2 caches / cores. In future salaries, each core still has two dedicated cache but can share a third cache to reduce processing time.

AMD uses DDR2 and DDR3 memory chip technology, while Intel is targeting the FB-DIMM standard. However, the world's second-largest processing equipment manufacturer said that FB-DIMM technology produced more heat.

In contrast, Intel claims processing devices for new desktops, mobile devices and servers based on the new Core Microarchitecture, Merom, Conroe and Woodcrest, will perform 20% better than with AMD products.

Although not comparing every single point, Chuck Moore asserted right now that AMD's processing equipment was able to overcome the competition. " Just by comparing performance and electricity consumption, people have seen a lot of big differences ," Moore said.
