I'm sure this is old news, but I thought it was interesting enough to deserve its own thread.

IBM plans on producing 45nm High-K chips in early 2008. The article states that this is a development made jointly with AMD. If AMD capitalizes on this, I wonder if they can start producing 45nm chips in early 2008. This would surely close the gap further between AMD and Intel in terms of mfr processes.
One benefit to being a year behind your competition is that you can learn from their mistakes (though someone probably should've told Sony that re: PS3 
)
I'm excited to see how this shapes up. I originally thought that the excitement behind release of Conroe was going to last another year or so, but it seems Intel's got a lot up their sleeves. I'm on the edge of my seat.
On a side note, with chip technologies moving ahead so fast, you'd think the high-end sales would suffer (being replaced so quickly and what-not. Especially with the EE965 getting slaughtered so badly < 6 months after its release). This doesn't seem to be the case, though. There seem to be a lot of QX and X-series conroes about.
Very interesting times....

Was after? I read that was almost at same time but Intel claimed better the tech advance than IBM!! Crazy thing.
Jedi band? Empire? hehehe... that's good!
| Quote : That article makes me think that AMD isn't as out of the game as I thought they were, or as much as people perceive them to be. |
They are far from out of the game;they are just out this round,and its debateable as to the actual reason beyond the AMD backpeddling.
Intel 65nm debuted near mid late mid 05,core duo mobile in dec 05.Here we are over a year later with the new york times calling it 9 months.
Something is dreadfully wrong with this.this is misinformation on a vast scale.
I think it's quite clear as to what is happening with AMD. No big mystery. Look at it this way:
Charlize Theron invited AMD and Intel for a threesome and Intel stole AMD's Viagra.
Droooooooooooooooooooop...

I dont doubt they were on it at the same time at all;what id like to point out is intels putting it on 45nm and The jedi following suit.
It wouldnt matter either way to intel;what process got it,I think maybe they did it to draw out IBM"s hand.
Which insinuates that Ibm /amd etc were dragging their heels on implementation as a scale improvement at 32nm.Meaning They wanted to draw out the length of the current process 
It could very well insinuate such a thing.

Great find! I'm curious what JJ would say about this as there and PDF at the end of the article which presents IBM technology.
| Quote : hmm really?theres testing and then deposition which takes time.Just when you though High k was interesting here comes a process named after an italian pasta. |
A bit of background. Fusi was first discovered in Naples when a Camorrista Mafioso was tasered in a Trattoria by the Carabinieri. The electic current ran through his body and onto his plate of Fusilli and the resultant deep plasma nitridation melted it together into a single large Fusi with remarkable electronic properties against parasitic leakages which are also common in Naples due to tapeworms. Since then, the application of the Parmigiano electrode on HfSiON and its resultant effect on NiSi sauce has advanced the doping to a point where it is no longer necessary to phase control the sillycide. The sillies just terminate their own existences even without dope.
Got that? Good. There will be a test later.

No prob. Glad to help clear it up for you. Just ask me anytime you need a technical dissertation.

I will wait till i save enough money for that cooling kit they are using. After that surely i will make the move to atleast 6GHZ 8O 8O

Dude, I have no desire to watch you do your personal thingy. Go do your thingy somewhere else.

CPU? Is that what you call it? I thought you were talking about your willy!
| Quote : If Intel is one year in advance in technology, why did AMD hold the crown for approx 3 years with outdated technology? anything to brag about being the first i suppose, doesnt matter if it run's like crap. |
At the time AMD held the performance crown, they had cutting edge technology and Intel was sucking hind tit. However, time has a way of passing and Intel has just trumped AMD into the weeds. That may change again in the future or then again it might not. We'll just have to wait and see.

Its up to user's preference, I too used to have a AMD, 2 years back but that PC is now used by my Sister. I'm upset at this PC thing, jsut cos a new game needs DX9, 10 doesn't means i have 2 upgrade. Thats why i'm hoping to get a XBOX 360 version 2 when HALO 3 gets release. I'm shit angery at yearly upgrades, can't ask DAD to pay my bills every now and then. I will get a 360 and hope that last for quite a while.

I'm writing this on a San Diego and I've been on AMD for years. This summer when I do my massive upgrade I'll go with AMD or Intel. Don't care which one. Whatever is on the market at the time that offers the best price/performance ratio. Couldn't give a rat's cornhole what fanboys say. The bottom line is always where you can get the best bang for your buck.
I tried asking my dad to pay my bills once when I was young. He replied by throwing me outta the house!

Dude, you'd have a better shot at getting people to pay to watch you play with your thingy than you would in blogging...
This would we very risky at the moment. Cos if somehow even after taking all precautions, i melt my PC, you know my DAD's gono make a million pieces of mine. I will wait till i get the 360 this year, then i will experiment

BE stands for Band Edge, not Beryllium. If it were Beryllium gates it would have been labeled Be.
