03.04.2008AMD Second-Generation "Stars" Plans Unveiled
AMD's latest roadmap outlines
plans for second-generation
Stars quad, dual and
single-core processors. Five
second-generation Stars
processors are in the pipeline
for 2H'2008. The five
variants include quad-core
Deneb FX and Deneb, dual-core
Propus and Regor, and
single-core Sargas. The new
processors drop into new
Socket AM3 and AM2+
motherboards for backwards
compatibility.
All
second-generation Stars
processors have new memory
controllers with DDR3 and DDR2
memory compatibility. Taking
advantage of DDR3 memory
requires the use of a Socket
AM3 motherboard though. Socket
AM2+ users can upgrade to
second-generation Stars
processors with a memory
bandwidth penalty.
Second-generation Stars
processors introduce AMDs 45nm
fabrication process. AMD plans
to make a quick move to 45nm.
The entire product lineup will

unlike the move to 65nm, which

19.12.2006We won't kill off the Xbox 360
In an interview with 1UP,
Microsoft's Shane Kim has
reassured gamers that the
company will not 'kill off'
the Xbox 360 as it did with
the original Xbox, and that it
hopes its current console will
have the staying power of
Sony's PS2.
"If
we could have a PS2-like tail,
that would be awesome for the
Xbox 360. I don't think
you're going to see the same
abrupt move to the
next-generation," Kim says.
"We'll have a much more
balanced approach when the
next-generation arrives."
Once the Xbox 360
launched worldwide at the end
of 2005, Microsoft had already
dropped all software support
for the Xbox and third parties
quickly followed suite -
though by its own admission
Microsoft never planned on
leading that particular
console race, and the decision
was made to launch its next
console ahead of the
competition.
"We
knew we weren't going to win
the last generation, so it's
not about 'How do we milk as
much money as we can out of
the last generation', it's
about how do we define the
future," says Kim. "That's
what winning the
next-generation is all
about."
