What Would You Like In The Next Generation Of Processors?

Ex. Quad-Core; DDR5 Support; Higher Speeds on Stock Cooling etc.

 

[dvdpiddy]

better memory addresing and more cache

 

[TechnologyCoordinator]

Intel spoke of "hundreds of execution cores". I do not know if that will ever be useful. Software would have to be be broken down and wrote to execute on that many cores. I just have a hard time seeing it being useful.

What would I like to see from the next generation of processors?

Increased upgradability
Increased memory support (upgrading from DDR2 to DDR3 without having to buy a new proc or mobo)
Longer socket life
Less power consumption
Industry standard benchmarking for performance comparisons (ha, that will NOT happen)

A smarter and less flaming group of people that support AMD

 

[crizazykid2]

SPEED, and inexpensiveness would be nice.

Not everybody here who supports amd is crazy...although a few are.

Also, you wan that in your processor...so you want people in your processor........noobs :roll:

 

[zyzplasmaz]

i would like expandable cpu that you can stack 😀
think of the cell processor only you can stack them, cpu running too slow? buy 5 of them and stack them together 8)

 

[Action_Man]

More registers.

 

[ShortyNumber45]

a processor that can do the work of a GPU and can do almost anything.

 

[Action_Man]

Why would you want a CPU to do GPU work?

 

[Spitfire_x86]

>= 2.0 GHz A64/Conroe dual-core for < $100

 

[chuckshissle]

A non-fanboy cpu!!!! 😀

Ok that not possible but a cpu that is faster than the fx60 or 955 ee with more cache, with the price range of $500-$700.

 

[mpjesse]

More cores and higher clock speeds!

 

[Grimmy]

Works double shifts, brings in extra cash flow....

😳 . o O (he did say would like or wish)

 

[Action_Man]

One other thing, more audio and video optimisations. Hmm I guess that's two, shut up!

 

[hashv2f16]

A smarter and less flaming group of people that support AMD

Yeah, I reckon.

 

[avatar3k]

living, self-enhancing chip that physically upgrades via software instruction downloads that end up being pirated so certain people may choose not to pay anything to have the next generation of tech :lol:

on a more serious note, a completely revamped technology that dumps the use of transistors (be it crossbar latches or whatever), anything that'll get us out of this transistor-size/density race.

 

[Grimmy]

Lower sodium..

Less fat..

more fiber..

more calcium..

More silicon tired of this 65nm-90nm diet.. damn I'm staving, and I need a 2nd diet!!

Not to mention I use up 2 tubes of AC5 to get my other minerals..

😳 . o O (oh.. parden me.. where's the boys room?)

 

[pyrix]

What do we need more processors for - AMD rulz over Intel and they are the best in the world and dont need to get any better, and a FX-60 will beat a Celeron D any day of the week so why do we need more processors or properly structured sentences, cause AMD can be rearrange to MAD...

Jokes. 😛

Cheaper, faster, better, this is what we get every processor upgrade, to varying degrees.

Oh yeah, something that will actually Run vista, becuase seeing what they want these things to have as minimum system specs, am wondering what they will need to run it properly, like a X2 or a 9** runs XP today.

 

[hashv2f16]

Does anyone know what the carbon nanotubes' characteristics would be like, e.g. heat output, do they suffer from current leakage?

 

[YO_KID37]

What i would like is Single CPU Chip with Physical Quad-Processer, and those Quad Processers Divided into Quad-Cores Giving us 16X Total Prosessing Power. Yay. and those Fiber Optic Motherboards without Bottlenecks. Yea. and those Carbon Nanotube RAMS and some of those Virtual Electron Processers for my SChool server yea. like 300 Procesers in one CPU chip but. there's no way to read the information yet. but i'd like that. yeah and i'll like more things when the Koreans or the Chinese or anyone Says its been done before and we can Mass produce it. Yay Fantisies

 

[ChipDeath]

I'd be much happier if CPUs stayed as they currently are and someone came up with an affordable solid-state hard disk that was at least 10% the speed of system RAM.

That would rock.

 

[dragabain]

I'd like to see higher cashe, more registers (>32 would be nice), and a risc arcitecture. Alphas so pwned x86s for the longest time.

 

[MU_Engineer]

Here's what I'd like to see:

1. Replaceable chipsets in motherboards (socket them like CPUs) so you can replace the CPU and chipset and still keep the motherboard.
2. Better FPU and integer performance.
3. Cooler operation of CPUs (and GPUs, hard drives, chipsets, etc.) It's nuts how big of a PSU, heatsink, and fans we have use to keep our systems from melting. Laptops have efficient parts, why can't we copy more of their technology for desktop machines? It took YEARS to move CPU frequency scaling from laptops to desktops!
4. More efficient use of the existing processor resources by programs. A lot of programs are written generic i586 while we have SMP systems with at least SSE2. This also means to multithread programs.
5. Four or eight cores on a die- and it must have a very good memory interface and an IMC.

Industry standard benchmarking for performance comparisons (ha, that will NOT happen)

Well, the SAE did establish an industry-wide method to rate engines' horsepower in the 1970s, and that was a much worse inflationary problem than CPU benchmarks are. How about we get the IEEE to make a net performace rating system?

OMG! ur such a mindreader I was just about to POST that. I was going to Say More Level Cache and More Work on RISC arctectures would help with the current Speed problems that AM2 might have with COnroe. because thats what Conroe/Woodcrest basically did, they eliminated some of the Bottlenecks and overinformation problems with it.
