Advanced Micro Devices or AMD as it is popularly called, is very keen on dominating the gaming market. A few months ago, they had introduced the Spider PC platform for gamers. Now at CeBIT, AMD has demonstrated its first 45nm quad-core chips running multiple operating systems and a variety of processing intensive applications.
About AMD 45nm transistors:
- AMD 45nm transistors are engineered to enable greater performance-per-watt capabilities in AMD processors and platforms. AMD combines new processes and materials with leading edge technologies, such as immersion lithography and AMD’s fourth-generation strained silicon, for a highly-manufacturable, highly-efficient production process.
The 45nm native quad-core processors were made at Dresden, Germany at AMD’s Fab 36 300mm manufacturing facility. They made use of an advanced 45nm process co-developed with IBM. AMD has stated that they will start delivering the 45nm products sometime later this year. The products showcased by AMD included the ‘Shanghai’ product for server and “’Deneb’ for desktop platforms.
