AMD Unveils Barcelona Quad-Core Details

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the four-in-hand dept.

mikemuch writes, "At today's Microprocessor Forum, Intel's Ben Sander laid out architecture details of the number-two CPU maker's upcoming quad-core Opterons. The processors will feature sped-up floating-point operations, improvements to IPC, more memory bandwidth, and improved power management. In his analysis on ExtremeTech, Loyd Case considers that the shift isn't as major as Intel's move from NetBurst to Core 2, but AMD claims that its quad core is true quad core, while Intel's is two dual-cores grafted together."

    I think you need more than coffee. Slashdot hasn't had links like that for a while now!

    Well, in fact Manuel is more like a name of a person from Madrid than a name of a person from Barcelona. In Barcelona they speak the catalan language and the equivalent of the Spanish name Manuel in Catalan is Manel.
