Amd k10 how far behind intel
Its coming in Q1 of 2011, regardless if Llano is delayed to Q3. Intel was expecting to meet Llano so they decided to push the mainstream "Sandy Bridge" (LGA1155) version forward, and have ramped up production. I guess future iterations (2nd or 3rd generation?) will be manufactured in those nodes. Compromises were made in order for this solution to move forward: They'll be made by TSMC instead of GlobalFoundries as well as 40nm instead of the planned 32nm or 28nm. They had to push this forward in place of Llano for Q1 release on their processor roadmap. The only thing you can expect from AMD in early 2011 is that they will have an Atom-killer in the Bobcat-based "Ontario" (9W) and "Zacate" (18W) lines. Effectively, this processor line will replace the current Athlon II as reviewed in this article. (This is a highly modified K10.5 design without 元 cache, but with Radeon HD 55xx/56xx GPU as the IGP). (2) Llano has been delayed until Q3 of 2011 due to yield issues of the complex design. It'll be up to each individual to see which processor best meets their computing needs.
(More client oriented.)ĪMD => Maximise per processor throughput. They are very likely to introduce "Ivy Bridge" (22nm die shrink) to counter AMD's Bulldozer should it turn out to be some sort of performance monster.īare in mind, both companies have very different design philosophies:
On the other hand, Intel is a generation ahead of AMD in manufacturing capability. Turbo modes via power gating from both companies will blur things a bit.We can at least say that AMD will close the performance gap with Intel. Its very likely to be on-par with the current Intel "Westmere" on a clock-for-clock comparison in single-threaded apps.To compete with LGA2011 version of "Sandy Bridge", Bulldozer will scale in high speeds.
(1) Desktop Bulldozer versions doesn't come until then. Click to expand.AMD will not take anything back on the desktop market until mid-2011.
