my fault. Edited
nao se ve a amd a fazer muito.... entao e aquela fusao com a ati? nao era suposto dar frutos? os gajos devem ter qq coisa na manga. nao divulgam muito e tal, para surpeender o adversario. eu sinceramente espero que assim seja, pq sou um pco fanboy da amd, e n a gostava de a ver para atras; apesar de admitir que, correntemente, a intel esta a liderar
Se o K8L sair apenas para bater o Conroe, diz adeus á AMD
Como podes ver por aqui, a Intel fez um roadmap mm mto agressivo, a lançar um novo CPU de ano em ano, e uam nova arquitetura de 2 em 2 anos.
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33577CHIP FIRM AMD is having problems keeping up with demand for Athlon 64 X2 processors, the firm confirmed.
And that has led to a shortage of the microprocessors.
Several European resellers have pointed out problems sourcing these CPUs over the last 10 days. One out of a number of resellers said: "There is a major shortage of all X2 processors from AMD. There seems to be only single core processors in the channel now. Estimated deliveries for dual cores keep slipping further. If AMD makes X2 processors as they used to, where are they going? It must be the big OEMs."
A representative from AMD said: "As far as the Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors go we are experiencing an unprecedented demand. We believe that this demand is a testament to the market acceptance of the outstanding dual-core architecture and performance of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor."
The phenomenon is being exacerbated by several factors. August is an important month for system integrators as they prepare products for the back to school season. AMD and Intel are currently in the thick of a price war. And Intel is desperately ramping up its nextgen Conroe Dual Core 2s after whipping up demand by seeding review sites with product. µ

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3761Dell's new 15.4" notebooks to get ATI chipsets and graphics controllers
DailyTech reported a few days ago that representatives from both AMD and Dell have confirmed that Dell would begin shipping 15.4" notebooks in Q4 ’06 that will be powered by AMD Sempron and Athlon 64 X2 processors. The move gives AMD even greater exposure from one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world. The latest news from DigiTimes states that those new notebooks will be paired up with ATI graphics controllers as well.
The fact that Dell would choose to pair mobile AMD processors with ATI chipsets and graphics controllers shouldn't come as a surprise to many -- there are already a number of AMD-based notebooks that use this combination. However, the news takes on an even greater significance now that AMD has acquired ATI. With AMD and ATI engineers working together as one to build powerful, high performance platforms with great stability for server, notebook and desktop platforms, it makes the products even more attractive to manufacturers.
In the mobile sector, the industry has always looked towards Intel's Centrino platform which pairs Intel processors with Intel motherboard chipsets and Intel-based wireless controllers. With AMD based mobile solutions, you might see an AMD processor backed by an ATI or NVIDIA motherboard chipset and a Broadcom or Marvell-based wireless adapter. While there is nothing wrong with this piecemeal approach, a single platform designed in house would be optimum. The acquisition of ATI affords AMD this opportunity and we expect to see great things as a result in the future.
