5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
AMD claims that advantages in performance and power consumption from its "true" quad-core approach are obvious and at least some analysts agree. However, yesterday at the Intel Developer Conference Otellini hit back like a wounded prize fighter at suggestions that Intel's two-chip quad-core was not the real deal, saying that the market doesn't care about packaging. There is a view that while Intel's initial two-chip quad-core solution will deliver significant performance advantages over anything that AMD will have until mid-2007. AMD will leapfrog back into the lead again when it releases its single chip quad-core. However, as 2006 has already demonstrated nine months is an eternity in processor development and AMD will be hard pressed to defend the gains it has made against Intel during a time when Intel has once again gained the upper hand in the performance stakes.{moscomment} |
