AMD announces low-powered desktop processors
Well, this article has a few notable factual errors, such as it's making
it sound like AMD is introducing 90nm SOI for the first time into its desktop processors, which is what's making them more power efficient. All AMD64 processors have been using SOI, since 130nm. Of course it's part of the ongoing war between the two processor makers. If AMD were able to make 65W & 35W desktop processors before, you gotta wonder why they didn't introduce it till now. http://www.cbronline.com/article_new...4-25A0D9C6AF90 Yousuf Khan |

I bet it took the author quite some time to write the blurb, and even more time before that just to do some reading and get a grip (sort of) on the topic. NNN |
