Haw many teams have AMD ?


Toms Hardware Site is a joke !
Looks like intel spent more on bribing reviewers to cover up it aint that great than they did in R&D, you know what im talking about Tom !

No they have at least 2 (alternating) teams working on CPU designs. The K9 team is not the same one that designed the K8. Unlike intel however, they don't work in parallel, so AMD in general doesnt really have a plan B (intel typically has a plan C and D as well).

My god, I was reading <A HREF="http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/elbrus-e2k.html" target="_new">this article</A> on E2K technology, and if Intel can implement this to its full potential, then this is one hell of a CPU.

It's just sad that they have 2 or 3 big projects and some of those might not see the day instead of having one gargantuan, kill-it-all project. I mean, they have all think tanks you could possibly need to devise the best processor on earth!

well youd think they would take a page form amd and not space themselves out too much, but intel is alot like microsoft in that respect, not really focused on one area.

I think Intel's actions were more to stop cheap Itanium clones from being made in Russia than to actually improve their own chip design. I think that, if anything, is completely secondary.

I think that Intel has thoroughly proven with Scotty that their ability to implement anything to its full potential is far from ideal. :O

Personnaly i think they might just work on smaller thing for a while.How they can work under a american corp how they can follow time ligne....

In any case that may be also a pre attack againt potential Ip lawsuit.They have develope VLIW for many year any paper that have something similar with itanium may be a potential paper that worth 500 million.Intergraph have allready cost intel a lot of PR.

i need to change useur name.
