Seven New Athlon II CPUs: AMD Impresses With Switch And Bait

[Onus]

I want to see some benchmarks on the new 45W chips, and then see them show up at Newegg. I'm thinking it ought to be entirely possible to build a competent general purpose PC / gamer (most settings [very] high) with a 200W ceiling.

[citation][nom]djdarko321[/nom] Remember now, AMD has had to lisense ALL cpu instruction sets from Intel or BUST! ... i.e. x86 mainly w all the SSE sets. AMD 64 is an iteration from IA-64. (Itanium procs by HP and Intel)[/citation]

Umm you may want to read this:

[citation]History of AMD64

AMD64 was created as an alternative to Intel and Hewlett Packard's radically different IA-64 architecture. Originally announced in 1999 with a full specification in August 2000,[3] the architecture was positioned by AMD from the beginning as an evolutionary way to add 64-bit computing capabilities to the existing x86 architecture, as opposed to Intel's approach of creating an entirely new 64-bit architecture with IA-64.

The first AMD64-based processor, the Opteron, was released in April 2003.[/citation]

[citation]History of Intel 64

Historically, AMD has developed and produced processors patterned after Intel's original designs, but with x86-64, roles were reversed: Intel found itself in the position of adopting the architecture which AMD had created as an extension to Intel's own x86 processor line.[/citation]

ya dont say? can anyone read? i swear lmao!
yes and was used as 1 of my examples of when i was stating AMD CAN be original. (hey lets take one tiny bit of a comment and not read rest of post, and restate what was said but in different words!)

point of saying, that ANYONE can change whatever in wikipedia. Its not used in the professional REAL world because of that. before others take more things out of context.
