Actually, Brisbane is only a 65 nm die shrink of AMD's current offerings. Most of these are for OEMs, not for retail. They say that Dell alone has ordered 20 million of Brisbane chips.
AMD's true next generation desktop CPU comes during the next year. Code name is Altair. |

Altair is quad core. If you cut it in half you get two dual core dies known as Antares.
Anyway, here's the link: http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4140 |

QUOTE(NickTheGreek @ 12 Oct 2006, 03:14 PM) it is obvious that untill AMD circulates the Brisbane, as an answer to Intel... the later will completely dominate the market... and do not be surprised to see quad-core flourish sooner than we thought [right][snapback]76861[/snapback][/right] I tested the Quad , not quite as impressive for now. The thread management is goign to be a little bit of a pain for software developers. The reality is, for most users, single core is the way to go, still. Core2 Duo is better than most AMD X2's on most math benchmarks but it has it's issues. I have 5 machines at home .. the best one is the dual Opteron (for general purpose computing). As for the AM2 socket, it's been long coming and holds ton of potential but some birds have said there will be changes in the not so far future. AMD is preparing an all out attack on Intel. NExt year is going to be interesting for hardware maniacs. Oh and for the love of god, stay away from VIA chipsets. |

it is not long since i built a laptop for me using 945 chipset and the T7200 CPU ( Merom ). The experience is a lot better than an AMD X2 4800+ i use at work

The AMD FX-62 is not a bad piece of work if you're into AMD, but not sure if it's worth the current prices. And the 969 FX 60 has always been overpriced but with the right MB /MEM and setting combo it does a good job on most benchmarks I've seen. I miss the PowerPC days. |
