"Fastest Desktop Chip Ever"-AMD Phenom II

"Intel Core i7 can up to 5.0Ghz" "Intel Core i7 is the world fastest chip" "Intel Core i7..."

I think either AMD fans or AMD itself already crazy for there words that they can be easily seen at majority of IT review website or newspaper.But now,Advanced Micro Devices on Thursday launched what it called its "highest-performing CPUs" to date,AMD fans can finally stand up and says “We also have the fastest chip at all!"
Two new quad-core Phenom II processors, with 45nm technology(Finally up to date if compare with Intel already launches this technology in its processor at last year), were announced by AMD at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.It is:

AMD's Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition processor, which runs at 3.0GHz, is priced at US$275, while the Phenom II X4 920 processor, which runs at 2.8GHz, is sold for $235.
They will still continually using AM2+ socket and will be change into AM3 socket later.


Beside that, Phenom II is one part of the AMD new "Dragon" platform for the desktop PC.AMD new "Dragon" includes the Phenom II X4 Processor,ATI Radeon HD 4800 Graphic and AMD 7Series Mainboard Chipset.AMD is targeting that "Dragon" platform will provide a gaming and media-intensive desktops for the gamers and enthusiasts with the chips, which are also affordable enough for mainstream users looking for a good gaming system.

Need know about how "highest peforming"that Phenom II have?Just refer to here.

In addition,AMD also launches its netbook platform-Yukon,which prepared for a battle to Intel's Atom.In CES 2009,AMD finally release that their first final Yukon product.Yukon platform will includes two type of processor,which is Sempron and Athlon Neo.Both of them are using 65nanometer process,solo core,low profile design and fixed its size at 27*27mm with only 2.5mm height,which design will become more suitable as to build a more protable computer.

AMD Athlon Neo have support AMD PowerNow! power management technology,which can change the running speed and voltage of the processor according the system usage rate.Otherwise,it is still support AMD Digital Media XPress and includes SSE,SSE2,SSE3,MMX.

About chipset,AMD Yukon platform has using the M690E chipset.It is combine with RS690E north bridge and SB600 south bridge,which include Radeon Xpress X1250 comes with support ATI Avivo and Windows Vista Premium experience.

AMD finally come to join Netbook market

After netbook release into the IT market , it had got a successful sales as its inexpensive and portability.However , among all the netbook that already available on the market,there are only build with Intel Atom N270 processor or some few unit with VIA processor.

Now,AMD finally really want to burst into Netbook market fight with Intel Atom on 2009 Q1.According AMD development roadmap, it show that new AMD netbook processor will call "Yukon" and it will control its TDP（Thermal Design Power) below 25W.It is the first try that AMD haven't did before.Beside "Yukon",AMD may continually release the next generation netbook platforms "Brazos" in the year of 2011."Brazos" platforms will contain a processor "Ontario" with a new core name "Bobcat".In addition,"Brazos" platforms will support DDR3 and PCI-Express G2 also.

Furthermore,when come to 2011,AMD will decide release a totally new platform "Sabine" with base on "LIano"APU on notebook and desktop platform.Its chipset will support DirectX11,DDR3 1866 ram and PCI-Express G2 with a new SB900 southbridge chip.Refer to a AMD engineer say, this new platform"Sabine" will have a big increase in the computer graphic performance and more longer lasting than before when using at portable computer product.
