We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

AMD vs Intel Update: AMD Can't Keep a Secret
Will Beat Intel in the Dual-Core Microprocessor Race

By: Maureen O'Gara
Apr. 10, 2005 12:00 AM

AMD is supposed to use Opteron's second-anniversary party in New York on April 21 to launch its dual-core Opteron chip thereby beating out Intel, which isn't supposed to launch its dual-core widget until May.

See, it's tradition in the microprocessor business that the first one out is supposed to dominate the market. AMD's will be a dual-core server chip. Intel's not supposed to have a dual-core Xeon until next year.

That means that to prevent AMD from getting too much of a head start Intel will have to get its server minions pairing the Smithfield Pentium chip with the Lindenhurst chipset, which will at least give them a one-way dual-core Intel configuration. The dual-core Opterons are supposed to be good for quads.

"In the end, both companies are likely to introduce their dual-core chips within a few weeks or months of each other. The chips, however, will initially target different markets.

Intel's Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition will be used in desktop computers; AMD's dual-core Opteron chip will target servers. Then, through 2006, the companies will broaden their dual-core lines into all the major PC markets: mobiles, desktop and server."

This is old news and her article paints a funny picture. I personally like AMD better but the fact remains that they will target different markets at first. I don't think Intel will wait until next year to get a server version of a dual core processor out if AMD gets to the line first. I would have posted earlier but I was harassing the forum doctor.
