AMD, Fujitsu, Saifan to work together on flash
213.219.40.69

EXPECT AN ANNOUNCEMENT in a day or so that will settle any outstanding legal problems between AMD, Fujitsu and Saifun.
The announcement will go further than, however, and the three companies will say that they are going to cross license non volatile memory patents and announce a wide collaboration on future memory technology

Joe, great find on the Sledgehammer/Clawhammer power chip. This is really excellent, since if the highest clocked Sledgehammer draws less than 62 watts MAX, the "typical thermal power" is probably less than 56 watts. Also, if the chip is capable of a maximum of 1.55 volts, the Vcc must be LESS than 1.5, probably 1.4 volts. Compare 56 thermal watts with 61.7 watts for a 2200+ TBred, and the fact that the die size will be somewhat larger (better heat transfer), and the Hammers will be cool chips.

Based on these numbers, a 1U dual-Opteron system should be easy to do, something that HP, Compaq and IBM have not been able to do with the multiprocessing P4s.

Yea, I guess that's why my BIOS says its running at 800 RPM <g>. What's the rectangular heatsink?

Re: Core voltage range is from 0.8V to 1.55V and core current can range from 15A to 40A

Great find.

Now we know why they pulled in the Clawhammer notebook.

Remember 2000 to mid 2001, Intel's Annus Horribilis when AMD had copper and Intel did not? The 2 years of 2003 and 2004, when AMD has SOI and Intel does not, as well as AMD having a 64-bit X86 chip, while Intel does not, will make 2000/2001 look like the good old days for Intel.

The power seems extremely low. Multiplying 1.55V * 40A produces 62 Watts.

Maybe the new Hammer dissipates 62 watts at 800 MHz?
