1 mai, in afara de ziua mondiala a muncii, celebrata de aproximativ 100 de ani, este si ziua companiei AMD. Insa ei se serbeaza de numai 45 de ani. Pentru ca AMD a fost fondata pe data de 1 mai 1969, de un grup de ingineri de la Fairchild Semiconductor. Si in tot acest timp a reusit sa schimbe in bine toata lumea IT.
La Multi Ani ! Si sper sa-si revina in zona GPU-urilor, ma refer sa convinga lumea sa le cumpere.. peste tot vad gpu nvidia/nvidia fanboys.. eveywhere.
La Multi Ani si mult noroc!
[…] peste tot vad gpu nvidia/nvidia fanboys.. eveywhere. […]
Tu inclusiv.
What?
la multi ani!!!
Din pacate AMD nu a putut sa schimbe mai multe. In anii 2000 au avut foarte mult succes cu procesoarele Athlon 64 dar Intel i-au facut platind OEM-urile sa le foloseasca procesoarele in detrimentul celor AMD suficient timp cat sa le permita sa imbuntateasca procesul de productie care i-a ajutat sa ridice frecventele procesoarelor P4 atat cat sa recupereze din handicap. AMD a investit foarte mult in capacitatile de productie sperand la o crestere de cerere pt. produsele lor crestere ca nu a mai venit.
Achizitia ATI abia acum incepe sa dea roade odata cu lansarea HSA.
Eu sper ca HSA sa prindra tractiune pt. ca merita, potentialul este foarte mare in special in spatiul mobil, nu ma mir ca Samsung si Qualcomm sunt interesati in aceasta tehnologie.
In February 1982, AMD signed a contract with Intel, becoming a licensed second-source manufacturer of 8086 and 8088 processors. IBM wanted to use the Intel 8088 in its IBM PC, but IBM’s policy at the time was to require at least two sources for its chips. AMD later produced the Am286 under the same arrangement, but Intel canceled the agreement in 1986 and refused to convey technical details of the i386 part. AMD challenged Intel’s decision to cancel the agreement and won in arbitration, but Intel disputed this decision. A long legal dispute followed, ending in 1994 when the Supreme Court of California sided with AMD. Subsequent legal disputes centered on whether AMD had legal rights to use derivatives of Intel’s microcode. In the face of uncertainty, AMD was forced to develop clean room designed versions of Intel code.
In 1991, AMD released the Am386, its clone of the Intel 386 processor. It took less than a year for the company to sell a million units. Later, the Am486 was used by a number of large original equipment manufacturers, including Compaq, and proved popular. Another Am486-based product, the Am5x86, continued AMD’s success as a low-price alternative. However, as product cycles shortened in the PC industry, the process of reverse engineering Intel’s products became an ever less viable strategy for AMD. – motivul pentru care sunt doar 2 producatori mari de procesoare X86
Sa cerceteze si sa implementeze si mai multe produse decat au facut pana acum! 🙂
Se pare ca AMD s-a pus pe treaba si nu a renuntat la seria FX, si pregatesc 20nm.2014-2015-2016 consumer,server,server.
FX 7500 si 7600P Kabini, puternice.(APU)
