Shanghai Servers Shipping Q4
AMDZone Frontpage —
CNet says that AMD is on track to not only release Shanghai in Q4, but to also have servers shipping with it. Patla asserted that Shanghai is a "very power efficient product" and will perform much better than Barcelona because the smaller 45-nanometer process yields "a lot more (clock) frequency."
At the same frequency (speed), Shanghai will outperform Barcelona by about 20 percent, Patla said.
AMD is also boosting the size of the cache memory, which typically speeds performance, from 2 megabytes to 6 megabytes.
"We're also turning on HT3 (HyperTransport 3) and you'll ...

... and, as a company, never do that again," said Pat Patla, general manager of AMD's server and workstation chip business.
Shanghai--a quad-core product targeted at servers--will be AMD's first 45-nanometer processor. (Barcelona is 65-nanometer.) Typically, the smaller the geometries, the faster and more power efficient the chip. Intel has been shipping 45-nanometer processors since last year and these processors now make up most of Intel's offerings.
