Intel once again hit back at AMD

June 30, Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology media communication at the meeting, Intel from four perspectives on the technical aspects of comprehensive fight back the AMD. This is Intel's 27 competitors for the first time since the contrast of yet another battle.

Competition power - which one is better
Processor power consumption has been an important aspect to measure the notebook computer, because it is decided the notebook to use an important aspect of time, heat and other important indicators. Intel platform application innovation alliance manager Zhao said on this issue: power consumption, we work hard, the generation of products usually cost hundreds of millions of dollars to verify, for example, our upcoming Core 2 generation, the introduction of the latest enhanced C4, it not only can any one of the core in the dual-core C4 Sleep is more important is that it can cache the data temporary inch in memory, so that the processor to achieve a deeper degree of dormancy. In terms of products, a competitor's product the lowest power consumption of 31W, Intel also has a 10W-15W product, only with passive cooling, power is not a problem for Intel.

The memory controller decided to upgrade the difficulty
For competitors in the new processor, integrated memory controller, Zhao responded. He said: "For the memory controller, not what we do not have this technology, but we made after weighing, and finally decided not to introduce for notebook computers, is not a separate processor to determine its performance memory is extremely important and integrated memory controller, the biggest problem is to affect the memory upgrade when changes in memory technology, and not the old CPU's memory controller, memory controller on the memory requirements are too strict. so that the processor is difficult to keep up with the pace of memory updates. will inevitably lead to the difficulties of memory upgrade. "
Thin showdown - who slimmer
Another indicator of the notebook - thin, Zhao said: "For Intel, the slim also not a problem. 10W-15W ultra-low power processor with passive cooling way, thereby reducing the fan thickness and volume. makes the laptop thinner and smaller. like a product of Apple, just a bit thicker than an ordinary magazine. which also competitors can not do. "
65-nanometer process collision -64 bit technology
Zhao said, referring to 64 products: 64-bit technology is not only to upgrade a processor will be able to solve the problem in terms of hardware, memory, and the bus has not yet developed to the 64, will be largely 64 The play-bit processors. software, although Microsoft has launched a 64-bit operating systems, application software has not been introduced 64 products, which limits the play of the processor from the other side. Therefore, in the current case, we will not further introduced 64 products, we feel that the main push of the 64 technology has yet to be timing. "
Zhao said: "Core in a generation we used the 65nm manufacturing process, can also prove that the application has been fully mature 65nm the opponent has not yet been introduced the 65nm products. Intel's 65nm process technology, production capacity has more than 90nm, and will launch in the next year close to 2008, when the product using a 45nm manufacturing process. "
Conclusion:
Competition means the price war and the war are indispensable to modern industry, the two processor manufacturers reflect the market price war in the end who wins the technology war will have to see. Who cares! Anyway, we got affordable.
