AMD has been ahead of Intel for years in terms of "elegance in design" The Athlon 64 had on-die memory controller and they were first with a monolithic dual core.Īnd before the Core2, AMD wiped the floor with anything Intel had to offer. AMD has been successful in fixing the TLB issue, and with the 45nm product will have higher clocking. The sad truth is, if it had not been given to me, I probably eould have bought one anyhow as the Core2 wiped the floor with AMD stuff at that time.Įven now as AMD is finally starting to catch up again I am still waiting for them to release a better product than what is currently available.īut. The K10 might have been a huge undertaking for AMD, but it will prove out in the long run. I am very happy to say that I have only ever purchased one Intel Processor. Especially the last couple which were Slot-A T-birds. The Slot-A Athlons were when AMD started to pull ahead of Intel. If the next Intel CPU is as evolutionary as Nehalem (which is still very much a Core 2 inside), while AMDs is a significant improvement over K8/K10, AMD has a chance of catching up. Revolutionary products like that are pretty rare (K7, R300 and maybe G80 being the only other recent examples that really count IMO.). After all, Intel can't always release a product like the Core 2.
#What year did the amd k10 come out series#
This would explain the stagnation of the K8 series and the early problems with the Phenom.ĪMD's next chance will be when they introduce their next micro architecture in a few years.
Rumors have it AMD went through several more radical designs that were later scrapped, before finally deciding on going with a tweaked K8 design in order to get something out the door. AMD made some good changes (K10 has nearly caught up with Core 2 in SIMD performance), but in the end, too few changes. allows the K10 to make up for some of it, but the fact that the Core micro architecture is about 20% faster clock for clock can't be changed. The integrated memory controller, shared 元 cache etc. The Core execution engine is wider and the scheduling is less restrictive than K10. Currently, Intel has a superior architecture. In the Netburst vs K8 days, AMD had a superior architecture.
