It almost seems like the whole "Fi" part is now just generally meaning "technology thingy". So, is a baker PieFi? A politician LieFi? Someone, please, stop the madness. :-P

Technology thingy, remember? So those terms only apply if you have a robot baker or robot politician.

AMD's Showcases Quad-Core Barcelona CPU 190

Posted by Zonk on Saturday February 10, 2007 @03:29AM from the four-times-the-fun dept.

Gr8Apes writes "AMD has showcased their new 65nm Barcelona quad-core CPU. It is labeled a quad-core Opteron, but according to Infoworld's Tom Yeager, is really a redefinition of x86. Each core has a new vector math processing unit (SSE128), separate integer and floating point schedulers, and new nested paging tables (to vastly improve hardware virtualization). According to AMD, the new vector math units alone should improve floating point operation by 80%. Some analysts are skeptical, waiting for benchmarks. Will AMD dethrone Intel again? Only time will tell."
