Full story.Nonetheless, technologies with Digital genes march on, including HyperTransport, a high-speed method of chip interconnection championed by AMD; a future version of Intel's Itanium family of processors; and low-power chips for cell phones and handhelds from both those companies.
Intel's hyperthreading, which involves breaking up an application for easier digestion by a computer's processors, derives in part from work on simultaneous multithreading performed by a team of researchers at the University of Washington and Digital, an Intel representative confirmed. In 1997, Intel licensed the patents and hired many of the employees who worked on the project as part of a massive legal settlement between the companies.
What else has been borrowed, re-invented and / or bought?
The ancient Maya would be laughing at us. And there is no guarantee, we are going to outlive themEverything. There is nothing new.
They had a time machine and they did not foresee and prevented the Cougar Point massacre? :hmm:they actually built a time machine and went into the future and stole AMD technology and came back and made sandy bridge 50 years before AMD made it.
Too bad AMD dosnt know they are competing with there own technology
just like how some dudes from 1997 have anything to do with how advanced intels hyperthreading is today

the core architecture came as a result of some new startup team in Israel or something. They bought them and their IP out.

I think SMT must started from some university project, not from some company's idea.
While multithreading CPUs have been around since the 1950s, simultaneous multithreading was first researched by IBM in 1968. The first major commercial microprocessor developed with SMT was the Alpha 21464 (EV8). This microprocessor was developed by DEC in coordination with Dean Tullsen of the University of California, San Diego, and Susan Eggers and Hank Levy of the University of Washington. The microprocessor was never released, since the Alpha line of microprocessors was discontinued shortly before HP acquired Compaq which had in turn acquired DEC. Dean Tullsen's work was also used to develop the "Hyper-threading" (or "HTT") versions of the Intel Pentium 4 microprocessors, such as the "Northwood" and "Prescott".
HT still doesnt worth the extra $$ compared to full cores. Cores > HT, nough said.
Yes, two real cores beat one with hyperthreading- but also use far more transistors and take up more die space. For the increase in transistor count, hyperthreading is a worthwhile improvement.
I thought this was well known ancient news?
