theinq talks about how AMD is talking to clearspeed about making co-processors for its opteron processors (http://theinquirer.net/?article=30318) and being that these clearspeed cores can crank out like 25 gflops, it would be a great advantage for AMD. Does Intel have similiar plans?

Similar plans to talk to clearspeed?
 
well something like that, but implement a similiar concept. If AMD can pull this off w/o Intel, they can do some serious damage when it comes to the workstation and server market.

That's a big IF. Talking is one thing. Planning is another. Implementation...

When I saw the Inq headline this morning, I thought it was a joke. I dunno...is this something they want to integrate on die? on chip? or on a slot-AMD adapter? Maybe answering those questions first is more important.

the INQ talked about it some time ago and it would utilize AMD's hypertransport and shuttle information to the coprocessor or something similiar.
 
Why is this in Intel forum should be moved to amd. That way they can see whats coming in the way of future products from AMD in the year 2510
 
This is the Inquirer news in the past week

1. AMD say's they have something in the works will talk about. (than there is nothing talked about)

2. AM2 will be DDR2 800 capable (big deal)

3 AM2 will be DDR2 1066 capable (again big deal)

4 AM2 will be DDR3 capable ( again big deal)

5 AMD to use Co processor ( IN the year 2510)

If this stuff is actually coming from AMD it would seem Conroe has people and hector running around like chikens with their heads cut off.

This isn't damage control its fud control
 
Yeah, and The Inquirer has been suspiciously quiet around the whole Conroe deal...maybe they still need to get over the shock. ;)
 
theinquirer has not been in good terms with Intel that is why they weren't invited in the last IDF.

I thought you had to register and go as opposed to be invited? So are you saying that they are a little bit biased now against Intel b/c they are annoyed? And a few weeks ago, you could not tell us anything about Penryn. Any difference? We know about cache increses of 50% as opposed to doubling and new instructions but that's about it. Some suspect that Intel is going to take advantage of the "extra" die space and do something different w/this core...

Actually, it has more to do with Inq giving out Intel's plans, I would imagine. The Inq has moles in every company...

well my logic was that b/c the INQ was on bad terms with Intel, they have not really been posting that much intel positive news.

Tomshardware was the one who published Intel's roadmap with great accuracy ;)

really? I was told that it was full of holes and whatnot by the INQ.
