Looks like a good start from AMD. Let's hope they can ramp 65nm faster with the help of Chartered.

The first AMD chips that come out of Chartered's factories will be made using a 90-nanometer manufacturing process, not a 65nm process as some reports have claimed, he said.
Over time, AMD and Chartered eventually plan to shift production to a 65nm process, he said.
I still can't believe that the first chips will be based on 90nm and not 65nm. AMD is still far behind in the technology race against Intel.
40% better transistor performance doesn't mean 40% higher benchmark scores.

Funny thing is, both AMD and Intel currently produce chips using some form of straining and have for quite some time. What this means is that 40% figure is meaningless since we can't compare it to anything. This isn't even taking into account whether it's true or not and under what circumstances.The companies announced that they have successfully combined embedded Silicon Germanium (e-SiGe) with Dual Stress Liner (DSL) and Stress Memorization technology (SMT) on Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) wafers, resulting in a 40 percent increase in transistor performance compared to similar chips produced without stress technology, while controlling power consumption and heat dissipation.

The same marketing figure intel used for their conroe processor being "40%" better than an Athlon 64?? 8)I've responded to this many times, but the 40% figure is a marketing figure from AMD. What is important is to look at what they are comparing it relative to.

Not quite the Word I was looking for. The prescott 2.4 was only able to get down to ~70 watts because it used a 133 fsb.The fact of the matter is if you take a 3.6 GHz P4 and underclock it to 2.4 GHz it will run at 20-30 Watts, while the Athlon at 2.4 GHz still dissipates 80-90 watts.
When you put an HO cam into a standard-output 302, you must remember that the firing order will have to be changed to accomodate the new camshaft, as the HO uses the 351W firing order. Also, if you're staying with fuel injection, a swap to a Mustang DA1 speed density EECIV (actually the ECU from an 86 Mustang GT automatic would be best, but good luck finging one) and a set of orange-top 19lb injectors will be the miminum necessary to make the efi system operate correctly. I recommend going with the full HO conversion though, and swapping out the old E6 heads for the E7 castings and sourcing the upper intake and throttle body from an 87-92 Lincoln Mk 7 or 87-93 Mustang 5.0, which will net you another 25 hp. A decent exhaust system wil be necessary (no less than stock Mustang headers, h-pipe, and catback) to avoid choking your 5.0 HO motor.

They are behind and still can outperform. 70% of the market proves that.

JumpingJack wrote.. Actually, not a bad point....Chartered is a singapore company, I would not feel comfortable supporting them for various reasons. Why? Well, something similar to why I would not support Nike by buying their products.
trust me... i work there before... chartered really sucks... their yield sucks...
do u ever own the 1st generation colour phone from sony ericsson? the phone
got a lot of problem.. the chip inside was made by chartered.
