AMD to ship 32nm chips in 2010 (Very Exciting News!!)

Lolz

Gotta love that guy...............

Im sure I saw him on TV the other day, WEC I think it was

WHARGARBL

AND HE RETURNS!

isnt it great when you know who the OP is just cause of the title of the thread?

someone call the city, they forgot some trash at the door....

here's the bi-annual thunderman post!

Intel wont mess up 32nm and I don't think AMD will either. Sounds very much like both companies have aggressively been working on the die shrink to 32nm. Success will be measured in yields which is very much in the air.

+1 roofus

wouldn't it be extremely funny if thunderman typed that post on an intel-powered machine?  

So, we're looking at a Q3~Q4 launch in 2011 for AMD's 32nm chip.

what i don't understand why microsoft is working so hard to make windows 7 'light' when explosions in chip's computing power like this have been happening for the past 4 years. it will only help netbooks and other low power computers.

Look at the sector where people are spending their money. It's cheaper and smaller less powerful laptops and netbooks (am i allowed to say that or is it copyrighted).

It will be exciting when for once amd can go a quarter without loosing tons of money.

I hope AMD does well, if only to force Intel to lower prices...

Because people who don't know a damn thing about Vista think its a memory hog, slow and unstable when in fact Vista is more stable, faster and utilizes all of your system resources better than XP does.

but they have to please the people.

Anywho, AMDs planning what on the who now? Cuz last time I checked IBM was having a wee bit of trouble with HK/MG at 32nm......

Welcome back Thnderman, you friggin looser.

And.... roadrunner ruins the fun as usual, the "friggin loose".

I hope their 32nm chips chew less power than the 45nm high end parts - i7 and the faster Penryn Quads are right on the top end of the power scale we had with the previous line of CPU's.

AMD's new Phenom II's are at least a bit cooler than the Phenom I's and overclock much better (as good as Intel's chips do now).

Will the next range of cpu's be demanding more power ... 150W's to run or so?

That's just madness.

We want more power ... but the damned thing should be much more efficient and chew half the power under load ... and virtually nothing at idle ... while running everything faster.

If it hadn't been for AMD pushing the sustainability angle (out of lack of any other angle to start with I'll grant) we would have 200W CPU's by now.

Both companies need to get really serious about efficiency now.

They can stick that Atom thing in the bin tho ... back to the drawing board there.

^What do you mean? Intels equivalent Penryn based Core 2 uses quite a bit less power than the euivalent Conroe based Core 2 and the equivalent (to Penryn) speed Core i7 uses about 10-15 watts more since they moved the MC to the CPU.

In fact at least with Intel we went from a ok power usage to lower power usage to a bit higher. Phenom used much more power than Athlon but Phenom II uses quite a bit less which is good, especially at idle.

But I can say for sure Intels 32nm will probably bring around a power drop since it is supposed to have a better version of the HK/MG which should reduce leakage even more meaning less power consumption and heat output.

I would like to think AMDs 32nm will but have yet to see even a single spec sheet on thier version of HK/MG to verify if it will drop power as much as Intels did (if they use something else than Hafnium).

Then its 22nm (Intel at least) that can operate at 3.8GHz using only 1.1v which is pretty damn impressive.
