Intel's Larrabee Retail Product Canceled PDF Print E-mail

Anandtech details news that Intel has canceled the retail release of their first Larrabee design. Larrabomb is apparently a more accurate name. Essentially AMD and Nvidia need not worry about an Intel GPU competitor until at least 2011.

As of today, the first Larrabee chip’s retail release has been canceled. This means that Intel will not be releasing a Larrabee video card or a Larrabee HPC/GPGPU compute part. The Larrabee project itself has not been canceled however, and Intel is still hard at work developing their first entirely in-house discrete GPU. The first Larrabee chip (which for lack of an official name, we’re going to be calling Larrabee Prime) will be used for the R&D of future Larrabee chips in the form of development kits for internal and external use.

Fudo reports that Asrock has rolled out a Socket 939 motherboard that uses AMD's 785G chipset.

The board features 4 DDR slots, 1 PCIe x16, 1x PCIe x1, 2x PCI slots, Gigabit LAN, 7.1 audio, 6 USBs, 5 SATA II connectors and even serial and parallel ports, to go with the retro theme. Thanks to ATI's HD 4200 graphics with 128MB of SidePort memory, the ASRock 939A785GMH/128M features HDMI, DVI and VGA connectors.

Fudo reports that Powercolor is going green with the release of a Radeon HD 5750 that does not require additional 6 pin power. No clear specs are yet available, but they do have a box render.

Ted Chen, Tul Corporation CEO, has noted that this card saves energy and deliver outstanding performance in a silent gaming enivornment so we guess that it might feature the SCS3 passive cooler, rather than an active cooler.

 
The Workstation Market Regaining its Health, but the Road to a Full Recovery Won’t be Short: Jon Peddie Research PDF Print E-mail
Press Releases - AMD

TIBURON, Calif--So far, the second half of 2009 for the workstation market is proceeding according to the script Jon Peddie Research (JPR) had written several quarters ago. A recovery is surely taking hold, but rather than the fast and furious type, it’s shaping up more as the slow and steady variety.

Q3’09 wasn’t a gangbuster quarter for the industry, but then it wasn’t expected to be. What JPR did predict was that the quarter would affirm two things: one, that the market did indeed bottom during the first half of 2009, and two, that the second quarter’s modest uptick wasn’t an aberration. And on those counts, the third quarter of 2009 came through, delivering modestly better results than did Q2. All told, the industry shipped 644.6 thousand workstations, resulting in a 7.1% sequential increase over the second quarter (and a more moderate 24.5% year-over-year decline). Workstation shipments Q2CY08 Q3CY08 Q4CY08 Q1CY09 Q2CY09 Q3CY09 Total (K units) 867.4 854.2

The third quarter’s growth was of course welcome, but certainly doesn’t signal an imminent return to the robust market levels of 2007 and 2008. Rather than making a dramatic stride forward, it instead marked one small step on what’s more likely a prolonged road to recovery. The way it’s panning out, the climb back up will take a lot longer than did the fall down.

The Inquirer discusses Intel's 48 core SCC, or single chip cloud.

Chipzilla has attempted this before but its prototype then, the 80-core "Polaris" processor, tended to use too much power and didn't like other x86 computer code. Intel's SCC chip has half the number of cores of its earlier Polaris and contains 1.3 billion transistors.

The Inquirer has reviewed the Acer Ferrari One. This is the dual core Athlon 64 X2 laptop with 3200 integrated video.

Powering the Ferrari One is the AMD Athlon X2 L130 1.20Ghz chip, making it one of the first dual-core netbooks to hit the shelves that's powered by a non-Intel processor. The netbook has the AMD M780G chipset, which has an integrated Radeon HD 3200 graphics system capable of playing games, albeit in a lesser graphical gaming mode.

 
40nm Shortage To Last All Q1 PDF Print E-mail

Fudzilla believes that TSMC will have a 40nm shortage for all of Q1 of next year. Sweet.

At this time, TSMC should be at 90 percent + yields, but this is simply not happening. The worst part is that nothing will change in early 2010. The shortage will last throughout Q1 2010 and both ATI’s RV870 and Nvidia’s Fermi will be heavily affected to their die size and complexity.

 
AMD and SiSoftware Collaborate on Development of an Industry Benchmark Suite for OpenCL™ PDF Print E-mail

ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 Graphics Card Performs up to 2.7 Times Faster Than Most Powerful Competing Graphics Card Featuring Two GPUs

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--AMD (NYSE: AMD):

What:

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced its involvement in the development of one of the first industry benchmark testing suites for OpenCL™. Released by SiSoftware, the OpenCL GPGPU benchmark suite is part of SiSoftware Sandra 2010, the latest version of the award-winning utility first introduced in 1997. The benchmark suite includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks, and can be used to test OpenCL performance on ATI Stream technology.

Why:
Heavy computational workloads have traditionally been processed on a CPU but the industry is shifting to a new computing paradigm that relies more on the GPU or a combination of GPU and CPU. OpenCL is the widely adopted industry standard for running parallel tasks on CPUs and GPUs using the same code. As the only hardware provider in the industry designing and delivering both high-performance CPU and GPU technologies, AMD is the only company providing a complete OpenCL development platform for the entire system.
