AMD Shanghai Rushed in, Hits Market in Q4 2008

AMD seems to have decided that it won't face any more flack in the computing industry owing to the lack of success the Barcelona / Agena (K10) architecture had compared to a determined Intel that seems to be going for the kill with a string of products lined up, Intel in fact has looked forward four years in time based on its IDF slides. On the eve of IDF, AMD executives said the company's 45-nanometer Shanghai processor will enter the market by the fourth quarter of 2008. The AMD processor is designed to compete against the Intel Nehalem processor, especially in the volume two-socket server market.

AMD Shanghai is touted to be the server/enterprise version of the upcoming Deneb series 45nm quad-core processors. Unlike the Deneb that retains the 940-pin AM2/AM2+/possible AM3 socket, Shanghai would use the enterprise segment Socket 1207, there already are server boards with four sockets in the market, AMD plans to use this as something to flash before Intel, as for server applications, cost-effective Shanghai parts used in four-CPU configurations should provide high levels of computational power.

Hard to say what the voltage is really. AMD thing says 1.475 but CPU-Z says 1.168. I dont trust either of them with a new CPU so dont really know. But at least its 4.0ghz right? And the review shows how much better the Deneb is compared clock for clock against previous Phenom. If anything, at least the new one is improved quite a bit.

all that shows is that they booted into windows at 4GHZ - doesn't mean its stable

I think AMD is one hell of a company considering the resources they have compared to Intel.

btarunrATi is not the name of a company anymore, it's the name of a product line....from AMD.
i think ATi is still a company but owned by AMD
might be called a division after what i have read
like dreamworks is owned by disney

yes i agree with you
Athlon 64 beated the crap out of intel, while amd had a worth about 10% of intels total revenue?
you gotta love AMD, when their CPUs are slow, their GPUs arnt
and i dont think AMD will go away anytime soon, how?, even Intel kinda gives amd money, as in you might have guessed it, ATI Graphics, allmost all new Intel mbs have crossfire support :p

AMD has been around since PCs started getting popular though. They only really started getting eyesight since the Athlon p00nage processor. So you cant really call them the "small" guy. Its just more people invest in Intel becasue everybody and their great granny knows that name. Just like Microsoft.

True but then again before you couldnt even get that high.

Nothing proves as yet that it's unstable either.

Sweet, but what about Deneb? Hopefully they will release Deneb alongside Shanghai.

You can see Deneb benchies and a possible OC on my post. Last i heard Deneb = 09.

what are you talkin about, intel is trying its very best to kill of amd, which is the only company standing in its way of dominating the world and you say they give money (what an ass) Amd is fighting for its life from intel by running into corners and hiding or tryin to get out of way but still it get punched in the eye

Intel knows they cant completely cream AMD so they wont go so strong as to kick them outa business. Laws here say Intel needs AMD since Via is outa the CPU business.

amd said Nehalem generation of chips with an integrated memory controller and point-to-point interconnects between cores etc is borrowing design techniques from AMD's Opteron chips. which is why Intel needed r700 out now to copy it in 2 years lol (clever Intel)

the only reason Intel supports x-fire or SLi on its motherboards is to sell its motherboards etc "duh" some people are just plain st**id

Intel needs AMD as a CPU company becasue laws forbid a monopoly. Duh.

ShadowFoldEven if i7 is better than what AMD puts out I'm still gonna buy AMD if its better than my Core2. I really shot my self in the foot when I went Intel, I look at that BIOSTAR AMD770 chipset board all the time thinking about the tri core I was waiting on for the price to drop..
Why? Your OCed to 4Ghz dual core is faster than an OCed AMD tri-core.

AMD should really have patented that design to prevent intel from using it....
