AMD goes against Moore’s Law
This latest announcement from AMD really caught me off-guard. I was thinking of hearing an 8-core announcement, but AMD surprised everyone when they announced that they will be offering a triple-core processor. Its strange for a microchip company to go from single to dual to quad to triple core processor. But this could be a masterstroke from a company that has been struggling off late.
Being the underdogs ever since their inception, the Opteron range really set them up to compete against big bully Intel. However, Intel has struck back with it’s Core range of processors and Barcelona seems to be the one and only hope for AMD to claw back into this race.
