AMD's triple threat: the tri-core Phenom | |
|
||
| Time: 08:36 EST/13:36 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Rumors that AMD will announce a triple-core, consumer-level CPU have turned out to be true, as the company revealed its plans for the new processor a day ahead of the start of the Intel Developer Forum. AMD is positioning the new processor, which will be marketed as part of the Phenom line and sport 2MB of shared L3 cache, as a response to consumer needs. The company's PR is pitching the idea the dual-core/quad-core split has left a gap in the market and is implying that consumers will want to save some money instead by picking up a triple-core part more suited to workloads with lower levels of multithreading. | ||

Question: What to do when your quad-cores only certify out to 3 cores.
Answer: Release a 3-core processor :) Standard stuff. Everyone does it. All memory starts out as the fastest available, and then gets demoted during testing as needed. Same with other chips. TL |

| Very well could be. I remember that, back in the days when 640K of RAM was as much as anyone would need, IBM made 64K RAMs, and sold those which worked only on one half of the chips as 32K RAMs. |
