VIA suffer sbb product dia xleh perform.. mmg bod guna chipset via murah.. tp xleh perform.. so, skrg tinggal utk integrated solution cam sound chip, LAN.. processor dia.. pong xleh perform.. wp pas dia acquire Cyrix...
sudahnya cma 2 yg survive.. AMD ngan Intel.. both ada sejarah memasing... kalo skrg org ckp pasal intel tiru amd.. in the early days, amd yg clone intel.. janji jgn tinggal 1 sudah..
lama dah x dengar org sebut pasal voodoo 3dfx.. gila best masa voodoo jd raja.. tp ok gak, wp dia dah bkubur, engineer dia x suma masuk nvidia.. ada yg masuk ati.. leh kita merasa SLI ngan crossfire...
harap nanti ada balik clock to clock direct counter.. bosan dah tgk pattern skrg...
higher clock amd to match lower clock intel...
dulu amd base clock rendah, lower cpu speed.. skrg intel lak base clock rendah low cpu speed..
plg aku nak... no more 250mhz base clock barrier.........
Llano & Bulldozer aku rasa hanya akan fight dgn Sandybridge. Dalam masa yg sama Intel akan focus Ivy Bridge yg akan improve another 20% performance from Sandy Bridge. At least performance gap takde la teruk sangat cam sekarang ni kann....
AMD perlu improve IPC & manufacturing process supaya buleh turun lagi total power usage. Kalau cepat, buleh la celen Intel nex-gen Haswell plak..
APU comes out on top
AMD has posted a rather interesting Youtube clip comparing its upcoming Llano APU to an Intel Sandy Bridge processor.
The test pitted a Llano-based laptop against an Intel Core i7-2630QM rig in a couple of real life tests and, obviously, AMD came out on top. AMD ran some 3D and office apps side by side, proving that Llano could easily outperform Sandy Bridge in Final Fantasy, with not stuttering or dropped frames.
AMD’s power consumption figures were also better, staying under 48W, while Intel jumped back and forth between 45W and 55W. In a spreadsheet test, and the game running in the background, both processor were equally matched, but when the testers piled on some video and post processing, Llano pulled ahead. In addition, power consumption was still under 48W for the AMD, while Sandy went over 70W. AMD then launched a 3D modeling application, only to see Sandy Bridge struggle to cope, while Llano managed to deal with all four workloads.
The test rigs were closely matched in terms of hardware. The AMD testbed was based on an A8-3510MX APU with HD 6620M graphics and the A70M Fusion Controller Hub (FCH). Intel sported a 2GHz Core i7-2630QM, HD 3000 graphics and H67 chipset. Both machines had 4GB of DDR3 and the exact same 128GB SSD.
AMD’s Llano clearly has a lot to offer, although it probably won’t need to deal with such heavy workloads in real life and Intel will still dominate the high-end. However, Llano could easily hit the sweet spot and score plenty of design wins in the much broader mainstream market. In addition, Llano is expected to end up somewhat cheaper than comparable Intel Sandy Bridge processors and AMD might have a pretty good chance of unsettling Intel in the mid range mobile market.

Cebit 2011: Dual, quad and different graphics
We saw Llano chip in action, including a demo versus Core i7 and AMD’s charismatic VP of product marketing Leslie Sobon and an exec that fiddles with Fusion, John Taylor, showed us the chip up and running.
The Llano that we saw was quad core, but we were told that taking a die pictures was not an option today. The chip has a lot of graphics power and can do a fancy video post processing stuff. These nice people at the AMD booth also shared with us that you can expect at least three different versions of Llano.
They plan a dual-core, quad-core and there will be some variations with the graphics, as you will be able to get more or fewer graphics cores. The graphics part is clearly faster than the latest Core i7 aka Sandy Bridge but we don’t have any numbers we could quote.
The demo notebook running 1.8GHz clocked Llano used up to 55W to run the Final Fantasy demo together with Excel, HD video and a few other applications, all multitasking. The Llano system looks quite responsive unlike Core i7 2GHz quad-core notebook running the same task. The Llano prototype simply ran smoother and needed 10 to 15W less than the Core i7 Sandy Bridge.
AMD did say it will launch in summer and our other sources told us that Computex is the target for the launch, roughly three months from today.
