This thing only can become a pretty decent response to Conroe processors and it should be expected that this technology would debut closer to July 24, the day of the Intel Core 2 for desktops launch. But the feature should require synchronization of chips’ L1 cache in general along with some other capabilities. Perhaps, the new technology will simply overclock the processor and disable the second core in certain situations.
The corresponding functionality has already been built into dual-core Athlon 64 X2 processors for Socket AM2 form-factor, the sources claim. To activate it customers will “only need to update the processor driver and the mainboard BIOS,” they say. Microsoft Corp. will reportedly even release a corresponding patch for the operating systems that will allow recognizing two cores of the Athlon 64 X2 as a single one.
No tak nakonec bude mit preci jen AM2 co nabidnout. Pokud hra/aplikace nebude poradne podporovat multi-threading, tak bude AMD asi jasna volba.
Jeste bohuzel neni nic jiste, ale rozhodne to vypada zajimave.
