AMD Plans on Relaunching FX Chips and Expanding Its Chip Family

Advanced Micro Devices seems to have plans of getting its premium class FX-series processors back on the market. Voices from AMD say that the Phenom FX central processing units (CPUs) should be released in mid-2009, and that they will come on the new AM3 socket platform. The company already announced the AM3 processo...

AMD, Rumored to Ready the Overclockable Barcelona B4 Stepping

AMD's K10 quad-core processors seem to have been followed by bad luck in each of the previous revisions. Some of them were fully-fledged disasters (such as the over-dissected TLB errata in the B1 and B2 steppings) that kept the quad-core powerhorses away form the retailers' shelves. The upcoming B3 revision...

Chip manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices seems to bury the Phenom FX processor series, in order to focus on the more affordable Black Edition series.

AMD's Barcelona Is Coming

AMD has been through some rough times throughout its existence but lately they have suffered one of the worst hits in the history. Now I don't know whether it's about the acquisition of Ati or the fact that Core 2 Duos are faster. Perhaps it's a combination of both. Anyway, AMD lost a big chunk of its ...

AMD Ready to Roll Out the FX-80 and FX-90 Series

At least on paper it is. Because in practice, Barcelona's appearance was almost inexistent. Few bechmarks ran on AMDs native quad-core series and I have to say that I wasn't very impressed. Barcelona's 128-bit FPUs coupled with a tuned memory controller helped it perform on par with INTEL's quad c...

AMD Releases an 8-Core Platform

Or that's what AMD claims anyway. And judging by the (un)happy experience we've all had with the Quad Father (or the 4x4 architecture as it was widely known), one could see this also as an unfortunate event. However, things have changed a lot since the power-hungry socket 1207 CPUs were introduced onto the ...
