Intel announced a new chip to beat AMD

Intel Corporation has just introduced a new line of processors that is advertised as more robust and productive in order to rediscover the aura that is being masked by AMD.

Acknowledging that the world's number one chip company is "buckling under tremendous competitive pressure," Intel chief technology officer Justin Ratter said the company will return to the trend of manufacturing power-saving chips in the near future. .

Rattner's remarks came during the Intel development forum that took place every half year in San Francisco. This is always an important occasion for this technology giant to launch its latest products. However, this forum was partly obscured by the fact that its revenue in the past quarter was lower than expected due to the loss of market share to AMD.

With the release of a new processor line, Intel hopes to be able to regain the lost land in the third quarter. Many analysts also share this view with Intel. "AMD's move will certainly narrow in the next six months, maybe even backwards," said Nathan Brookwood, head of semiconductor consulting for Insight64.

After a long time of repression by Intel empire, AMD has made a spectacular breakthrough in the past few years, by innovations such as compressing two processing cores into a single chip platform, allowing the system to Control system at the same time many tasks are more effective.

These inventions have helped AMD reap a lot of sweetness, although Intel is still far ahead of AMD in the field of PCs (4: 1 ratio) and laptops (9: 1).

For my part, of course, Intel, which invented the microprocessor, could not stand still. "The new chip will be a big step forward in performance, benefiting both users and us - from a competitive perspective," commented Pal Gelsinger, senior vice president of Intel's Business Division. about new chips. "But the most amazing thing is that while the performance increases, the chip's power consumption is still reduced."

The manufacture of power-saving chips, but still powerful, will help computer makers design "loom-like" products, which are super-efficient but not noise-free. Users will be able to place these perfect machines inside the family room to listen to music, watch videos and enjoy digital entertainment content.

The new chip, named Intel's Core Microarchitecture, will begin to appear inside computers later this year. Breaking tradition has always introduced chips for desktop computers first, this time Intel chose to start with the same server - the sector where it lost the most market share.

The new server chip, code-named Woodcrest, will achieve up to 80% efficiency while the power supply requires less than 35%. Meanwhile, Conroe desktop chip will increase performance by 40% and reduce power consumption by 40%.
