WTF? Kabini is not and never the tablet part. It is the mobile/laptop part of Jaguar architecture. Temash is the tablet component.
Heck! even 2 years back we had Ontario and Zacate for netbooks while Hondo was the design for tablets.
Anytime now
Beema will replace Kabini
Mullins will replace...
And Intel was supposed to have 14nm FinFET products by now right? It has canned its Chandler Arizona plant which was supposed to begin 14nm manufacturing and 450nm wafers.
So the process lead is reducing (I agree we have to wait till 2015 to see if TSMC as well as SMSG/GF can bring their...
That quote was from the great "Digitimes".
Important note.
MediaTek competes with Intel more in the phone areas. In tablets where baseband is not the main thing, Intel with its Baytrail is far better (if it can get Android right). So Intel has to compete with Allwinner and Rockchip which still...
I think your failed premise is that you misunderstood what I meant to say. :D
ARM is not there to kill Intel. ARM is there to promote its ISA. ARM thrives when more companies use the ARM ISA. ARM provides choice to its clients.
a) Want nothing but ARM designed SOC. Processor-On-Package...
Yes, 10s of millions of x86 phones and tablets where in Intel is losing money in the multi-billion dollar range last 2 years every and the near future
:D
As a note, Intel is able to subsidize these gargantuan (mobile)losses purely bcos of the insane profits provided by the x86-x64...
LOL! Look at Ashraf Essa's articles in 2013.
He did a 180 on Intel only from Dec 2013. Till then he was badmouthing TSMC.
I had commented on some of his articles as well as others who use his analysis to derive conclusions.
His analysis was sometimes as simple as stating
a) Intel is 22nm...
Not set in stone/complete. You will not see APPLE anywhere as the licensee. :D
Even missing from the Classic ARM Licensee section. Guess certain ppl have some privileges.
Keep in mind that this presentation is from the Embedded Products Group. Not their traditional PC/server group that we are used to. So perhaps that is the reason that ECC is not explicit.
This roadmap is a little better than the previous one with respect to specifics.
Atleast with embedded...
As of the last update, Kaveri is still 28nm Bulk HKMG from Global Foundries. Looking at the various "movements/delays" news coming up I can confidently say it is GloFo :D.
The Dresden Fab (Fab1) is the one that has 32nm SOI and soon 28nm bulk HKMG.
The Malta, NY fab (Fab8) which will be...
The first APU was Llano. It was in great demand, but GloFo could not supply it due to yield issues. AMD lost Apple as well as burnt bridges. GloFo bcame the Albatross around AMDs neck. Brazos too was a low-end APU and AMD sold it like hot cakes.
Remember GF 28nm was supposed to be ready in...
You have got it all wrong. These press releases and bench marketing is purely related to stem the series of downgrades that the various brokerage firms and analysts have placed on Intel...

LOL!

Historically the FX series is the non-server variant of the server 1P MPU. Steamroller cores do not end up in FX series declared for even 2014.
If so there is no reason for Warsaw Server MPUs to remain at 32nm...
If you look at the answers or responses from Seronx your head will spin faster than planet mercury rotating on its own axis ;-). Anything that can be eliminated by even basic logic would be replied with more high-tech blah!blah!
All SOCs of the last generation consoles were fabbed at IBM...
Agreed. But at 28nm the standard process is 28nm HKMG Bulk. All announcements from AMD, Rockchip, ARM (collaboration) etc all talked about 28nm HKMG. From the GF website
http://www.globalfoundries.com/technology/28nm.aspx
..The 28nm technologies are based on bulk silicon substrates, and are...
Why are you pushing FD-SOI again and again?
AMD has clearly stated as early as Mar2012 as well as Dec2012 WSA and multiple times in between that it is always going to use the Standard Manufacturing process at a given Global Foundries node. It is not going to use any special nodes like now...
First time both HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) and UMA (Unified Memory Access between CPU and Graphic cores) will be available to the general x86 world. Opens a whole world of possibilities.
So this will be the first true justification of "fusion" as envisioned by AMD when they spent...
Like it or not. Sweeper is right on this one. FX line seems to basically not carry over the Steamroller CPU cores like prior ones.
CPU Core =>FX-Series
Bulldozer =>Zambezi
Piledriver=>Vishera
SteamRoller=>None
Excavator=>??
We can certainly deduce things...
Can you give me indications that it is GloFo and not TSMC? The general behavior is that AMD goes out of its way to mention GloFo at the drop of the hat (due to 20% stake Mubadala has in AMD). But with TSMC they are more reticent as if to invoke them as an afterthought.
When AMD sold its stake...
He!He!
More like Andrew Feldman IIRC came from Sea Micro acquisition. So his fabric interconnect is useful for the dense server world that ARM is targeting. So no wonder he is using that.
Also one thing in companies' post acquisition is to prove the "inflated values" of a merged/acquired...
From all indications including a one on one with AMD CEO Rory in the Morgan Stanley Tech conference in March 2013, it seems RR is still believing (in my opinion foolishly) on Windows to be successful over Android.
Unfortunately that webcast is not available...
Temash tablets will run full fledged Win8-x64.
BayTrail is x86-64 competitor to Temash.
So why would a full blown linux be hardly usable in it?
Well, Intel will only allow its fabs to companies that do not hurt its bread and butter. Its current disclosed clientele of Altera (FPGA)...

Agreements are made like this in the corporate world (unfortunately) often. It is perfectly...
Most of the fines that Intel would have paid if the complaints had gone forward would have gone to the various countries and their governments and very little to AMD. AMD would have had to open separate civil cases to get the money in each jurisdiction using the respective Trade commission's...
Yes, I would have loved to have Intel executives swear an Oath and state things. And so will Ted Waitt, HP CEO as well as Michael Dell. That would have made my day.
As I said, AMD needed cash desperately as well as spin-off the manufacturing to ATIC. So it agreed to drop its complaints and...
You are doing a bang up job yourself showing that you are unable to grasp the facts.
There were quotes, notes even from the CEOs of multiple OEMs on how Intel strong-armed them into not using the AMD processors even when Athlon as well as Hammer series was cleaning Intel's clock.
I actually...
The problem is that 20% of AMD's shares are owned by Mubadala a Abu-Dhabi SWF

What is ATIC? Advanced Technology Investment Corporation is wholly owned subsidiary of the Mubadala Group. Global Foundries is 100% owned...
Actually my experience in India was that it was very much a Intel country. Intel had formed good relationships with Assemblers with a GID (Genuine Intel Dealer) program.
And OEMs like ACER and their distributors only stock Intel based kits. Most of these Assembler/Distributor will don...
I am more excited about Temash than Kabini. I explained in detail why in the below link in SA forums.

Global Foundries wants to be a pure foundry attracting as much clientele as possible. Do you know that GF has not made any profit ever since it came into being?
Right now GF has AMD as its only client and its "paying customer". And this client uses 32nm PD-SOI process. If it wants to grow...
Actually all GF promo documents and videos in its website, compare it with the "Other Leading Foundry" ;-D. So it does refer to TSMC indirectly...
If there is any company to paper promise technology, it is STM, followed by GF. :D
So in a way made for each other.
BTW in Sep 2012 GF suddenly...
Bcos officially 28nm as well as 20/22 nm are going to be Bulk HKMG for the IBM Common Platform consortium.
So SOI will not surface again till 14nm. Currently GF runs its 32 nm PD-SOI line solely for AMD. If AMD has to go SOI route, it has to bear the RnD costs as no other client is using...
Nope. 0% chance of it happening.
AMD is now wisely backing off the SOI bandwagon. IBM was basically having a laugh with AMD doing the SOI hard talk as well as manufacturing a mass market product on SOI and trash talking bulk while it had a parallel bulk consortium consisting of Samsung...
