Roadmaps

Posted on March 6, 2005 by Arthur

Looking for information on older processors, I ended up comparing Intel’s and AMD’s roadmap for this year.

AMD is focussing on dual core processors (as the graph seems to indicate) to be released at the end of the year. Intel then? No word about dual-processors, only about more + more speed. 3.8 GHz. No problem!

Where’s IBM’s roadmap I wonder. Their PowerPC pages don’t seem to reveal anything.

    It’s a generic SiS I think.

    Hmm, are you sure about that? It also seems to be an AMD chipset.

    Uh yes. I never checked the BIOS yet (note this is a Compaq). Can do so after.
