AMD set to launch 'Phenom' quad core chip.
Saturday, June 23, 2007
AMD will soon launch its own quad core desktop chips with 'Phenom' designed name in attempt to compete its very old and the only rival Intel Corp..
It is due launch after the second half of 2007 with the similar architecture of its Barcelona quad core Opteron server processor in mid 2007.AMD entered into the market with its original Opteron server chip in 2003, but the company began to slip back again when Intel launched its quad-core Xeon and dual-core Core 2 duo chips in 2006, pushing both of them on a price war.
AMD's current line of desktop chips ranges from the high-end Athlon 64 FX to the Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 and entry-level Sempron. After launching Phenom, AMD will offer a high-end Phenom FX (in one or two quad-core chips), Phenom X4 and Phenom X2 (in quad-core and dual-core), Athlon X2 and Sempron.
Intel already sells chips for quad-core desktops too, But AMD claims that it has an engineering advantage over Intel since its quad-core design uses a single processor die instead of Intel's approach of connecting a pair of dual-core processors also called as "duct-taped-together dual-dual core."
