Re: they are moving to recompile everything into multi-threaded variants. The basis of their compiler technology came from the company they acquired about two years ago The words "first assume the compiler produces perfect code" have been the introduction to half the new product disasters in the history of the computer business. AMD's approach "assume the chip will have to deal with a big mess of modules with code from different periods and different compilers" is much more likely to be greeted with success - 'cause that's what's really out there. Even Windows XP, even today, is full of code from years ago. 5 years from now, by which time there will begin to be a moderate amount of multi-threaded code in the installed base, AMD will be shipping nothing but multi-core chips.
