"IBM and Chartered Sampling 45nm"

[9-inch]

The cooperation between the four companies is yet another sign of quickly rising cost for semiconductor research and development, which forces most chip manufacturers into collaboration efforts to make the economics work. According to a press release distributed by IBM, Chartered, Infineon and Samsung, the joint-development of 45 nm technology may "facilitate [an] earlier transition to the new process" and enable "multi-fab manufacturing capability for maximum design leverage" by using a single design approach. The companies expect their 45 nm process to be installed and fully qualified at Chartered, IBM and Samsung 300 mm fabs by the end of 2007. Mass production is scheduled to begin sometime in 2008.

Well, IBM and AMD are partners on this one. I wouldn't be surprised if AMD offers 45nm chips a few months after intel's since that's what they were saying a while ago.

I'd be more interested in seeing AMD's 65nm products.

Intel already had 45nm SRAMs introduces earlier in the year. When AMD does intro 65nm CPUs, that would be more compelling.

Glad they're sampling at 45, since AMD appears to be eating-it at 65.

This doesn't mention AMD at all, so I don't know where you got AMD from....

My thoughts exactly:

East Fishkill (NY) - IBM, Chartered, Infineon and Samsung have developed their first 45 nm "silicon-functional circuits" and announced that the technology would be available in "design kits" for "select customers." The four companies follow Intel, which was first to demonstrate a 45 nm SRAM device in January of this year.

and ---

Intel was first to demonstrate a 45 nm device in January of this year. The firm's 45 nm SRAM cell was announced with a capacity of 153 Mbit and more than 1 billion transistors.

I swear I did not see AMD mentioned once in that article.

 

[exit2dos]

I think he figures that since IBM and Chartered have had contracts with AMD, then AMD is part of this consortium (IBM, Chartered, Infineon and Samsung).

In this case, they are developing embedded chips for cell phones, HDTVs, etc. - not desktop/server CPUs.

Intel was mentioned from the original link provided.

Also, since this 45nm is "targeted at next-generation communication systems", I don't see how it would have any ramifications for AMD. That's like saying that since IBM is part of the Cell processor development, it will affect AMD as well.

Like MatTheMurdera mentioned, AMD is no where mentioned in the offical press release, either.

Well, it was a tgdaily article-THEY introduced Intel.

What? They introduced Intel? What the hell does that even mean?

All they did was mention that Intel demo'd a 45nm SRAM earlier in the year. They didn't compare or even say anything more about Intel after that paragraph.

 

[accord99]

That's a different collaboration. This one is for the bulk CMOS low power process for IBM, Samsung, Chartered and Infineon so it'll have no relevance to AMD.

Tgdaily take a story about IBM, Chartered, Infineon and Samsung and introduce the Intel name into it! WOW, WHAT A SURPRISE!!!
Is Intel part of the consortium?-NO! So why did tgdaily mention Intel??(Rhetorical) :lol:

 

[Parrot]

...so it'll have no relevance to AMD.

Oh really??!!

 

[NMDante]

To put it in perspective, maybe.

IBM and company introduced their 45nm stuff. Intel had demo'd their's some 7 months earlier. Whoopie doo.

What harm is there? So, when AMD does release the 65nm, there should be no mention of Intel's 65nm CPU? Or any other companies 65nm products?

But what's the difference of TGDaily adding Intel's 45nm product, and the O.P. and you including AMD to it?

*edit*
So, because the Inq mentions that the AMD engineers will go have a beer with IBM engineers, that equals what? 45nm transistion for AMD because of this, or a bunch of beer and ASCII jokes between engineers?

Maybe because Intel demonstrated it first. If the story was about Intel putting IMC on its chips, don't you think they would mention AMD?

Yeah its so biased that they mentioned that another company had been working with 45 nm devices. Just because you dont like Intel doesn't mean its not relavent.

Intel had the first working 45nm silicon. Period.
TG Daily was just making a comparison.
