AMD strikes deal with ex-Intel employee on last day of 2007

:

ISRAELI PAPER Globes reports that AMD has struck a deal with an Israeli Company - Commex.
Commex makes chipsets. The paper said that CEO Tal Horowitz formerly worked at Intel Haifa and was a senior member of the dual core chips developed there. Horowitz’ target is the ever lucrative server market, not the notebook market.

the article in hebrew say they are targeting multi core chipsets. By making the chipset more efficient mediator between CPU, MEM and GPU - the overall preformance will rise. Aparantly the company has already solutions that AMD is very interstiing in because the company is using HyperTransport just like AMD.

These are some of the guys that brought c2d and centrino.

Well AMD has little use for that chipsets MC but what will become of ATIs chipsets then?

Plus this guy may be able to help them but AMD wont be able to use the same technologies that C2D has without licsensing it from Intel.

Maybe they will use it for Fusion though.

Hmm. I'm thinking multiple co-processor integration in a server platform.
If you look at how well the ATI cards do F@H, youv'e got to think about how useful a gp-gpu could be for some specific tasks.
They may even look at including a cell or two, since AMD and IBM are so tight.
Hector did say AMD would be working on the server market.

aaaaaaaaand we're back, after a word from intel's "imployees"...
though i'm sure there's "allot more" to come.
