AMD Phenom

Advanced Micro Devices next generation quad-core desktop processor will be called the Phenom. The Phenom line of processors promises to be energy efficient with a boost of performance by minimizing the distance where data travels within the processor. It will be available in the second half of this year. AMD will also offer an eight-core platform called “FASN8″ pronounced “fascinate” sometime in 2008 by pairing two quad-core processors. Meanwhile, Intel announced last week a new line Centrino processors.

The tech industry need both companies to thrive. Competition forces innovation and competitive pricing. I wish we had this across all sectors of the tech industry.
