...The 119-page program of the conference provides a first glimpse of what we may hear at the ISSCC, which will begin on February 11. Sony, Toshiba and IBM, short STI, will present first details about a 65 nm Cell processor design, which, apparently, already runs at 6 GHz and 1.3 volts in STI's labs...
...AMD plans to provide more details about its native quad-core Opteron processor, code-named "Barcelona."...AMD is also expected to describe its DDR3 transition plans...
...Intel apparently has an update to its 80-core processor that was first presented at the 2006 Fall IDF conference. The processor, which was clocked at 3.1 GHz at IDF, has reached 4 GHz, while retaining the original 20 MB of SRAM... According to Intel, the 80-core, 100-million-transistor-die is rated at power consumption of just 98 watts (at 1 TFlops). |
