After the launch of AM2 socket, AMD released some informations about their next generation of mobile CPU.
It is clear that on the desktop market, AMD and Intel are warring each other, but on the notebook market, the things are not quite the same.
In the last few years, MAD did a pretty good job with their Turion and Turion X2 processors, but not as good as on the desktop market. The notebook market is still dominated by Intel and their Pentium M and Core Duo.
If AMD announced for the second half of 2007 its socket G processors (Tyler and Sherman) manufactured with the 65nm technology, it seems that a new architecture arises.
It will have HyperTransport-3, technology reserved until now for K8L cores. More, considering that each core will have it’s own power module, the ACPI can bring the CPU to a full halt when it’s not used, thisway saving energy.
And this is AMD’s goal for this decade. A low power consumption. Like their desktop processors, AM2, the energy is reduced to a max.
More, the HT is un-ganged. This means that a 32-bit link can be split in two 16-bit dynamical links. So, if the CPU requires only 16-bit, the other link can be shut down. So here is another energy reduction.
All in one, the news sound good but we better wait until more will come from AMD and we will be able to know something solid.
