Yet again AMD is poised to beat Intel to market with cutting-edge chip technology. But even though some customers are calling for Dell to use AMD processors, Dell -- the lone holdout among hardware makers -- has a strong incentive to pass. With the launch of AMD's dual-core Opteron processors expected this week, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun Microsystems are preparing to unveil the second generation of their Opteron servers.

Apple and its dual-core option

Apple and its dual-core option 08/22/2004 11:29 AM
According to an <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/18/dual-cores_detailed /">article</A> published Wednesday in The Register, it seems that Freescale Semiconductor Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Inc., is set to unveil a dual-core processor at Microprocessor Forum in San Jose in October. "Freescale's dual-core PowerPC is expected to sport an on-board memory controller, this one capable of supporting DDR 2 SDRAM, along with a Gigabit Ethernet controller. It is also expected to use the Rapid IO bus, according to past Motorola pronouncements, though MPX bus support is also anticipated to maintain backward compatibility… (with speeds) beyond 2GHz." Of course, this all sounds great, but with all the chatter regarding dual-<I>processor</I> PowerBooks, this dual-core nonsense is bound to cause some confusion. So, allow me to explain, as best I understand it, anyway. The main issue here is heat. As we know, a single processor produces a heck of a lot of warmth, and the issue of cooling has been a major bone of contention in Apple’s hardware. As it goes with the current offerings, the faster the chip, the hotter the output, making it incredibly difficult for Apple to implement either dual G4 or G5 architecture into its current line of laptops. That being said, dual-core processors represent an interesting option — or at least a stop-gap between the PowerBook-friendly G5. Dual-cores can process two times more data per clock, which ultimately allows the whole system to perform much better when running under processor-intensive applications. Furthermore, both cores have their own cache. Level 2 and level 3 cache have always been an issue with G4 processors, as their general clock and bus speed hindrances have been compensated for with a fair amount of cache. However, as with the G5, dual G4 and basically every new chip that may appear the horizon is the architecture of Freescale’s current MPX bus. Since Apple’s not likely to overhaul its flagship laptop (i.e., with RapidIO interconnect) until it is capable to sport a G5, so the dual-core may be as crippled as the DDR SDRAM that currently pumps through the PowerBook. Dual-core may not mean much to the PowerBook as it stands, but it definitely spells good things to come for the PowerPC processor — both from Motorola and (hopefully, eventually) IBM. Since keeping PowerBook's cool and kernel-panic free is of utmost importance, dual-core could very well represent the future of Apple's professional portables. I can see it now: <B>One Apple, Two Cores.</B>

Motorola Develops Dual-Core G4

Motorola Develops Dual-Core G4 08/20/2004 10:57 AM

Ars Technica mentions that Motorola is working on a dual-core version of the G4 chip that currently powers Apple's iBooks and Powerbooks. Although it's possible that Apple might release a final tweaked version of the Powerbook that utilizes the chips before the expected G5 upgrade, Ars' Hannibal postulates that because a major overhaul would be needed to take full advantage of the dual-core processors, it's not likely that Apple will invest the time and effort when the energy could be expending developing the new G5 models.

The other option, though, would be for Apple to release a model that doesn't utilize the dual-core G4s fully. If they did that, despite any hype from Apple, the performance results wouldn't be that impressive.
