AMD Says Power Efficiency Still Key

Larsonist writes to tell us that even though AMD's new architecture wont be released until mid-2007 they are still letting people in on what some of the new features will be. From the article: "While clock speeds have not been revealed, each of the four cores will integrate 64 KB L1 Cache and 512 KB L2 cache. The native quad-core architecture will also include a 2 MB shared L3 cache, which may increase in capacity over time. The processor will have a total of four Hypertransport links - up from three today - that provide a total bandwidth to outside devices of 5.2 GB/s. AMD is also thinking about integrating support for FB-DIMMs 'when appropriate.'"

"AMD Says Power Efficiency Still Key"

The most ironic headline on slashdot ever.
speaking of irony:

EB: "You have absolutely no idea what irony is, have you Baldrick?"
B: "Yes I have. It's just like steely and goldie, 'cept it's made of iron"

I've never seen this happen on IE when using flash - firebox is sub-standard, slower and uses more RAM to render the same page as IE, even IS7 BETA.

Firefox are going to get their ass kicked when IE7 comes out.

Look at AMD's malfeasance!
