First AMD QC *does* feature 128b FP and enhanced IPC

Haven't heard from Charlie @ The Inq yet, so I'm posting this here at this point.

After the controversy regarding whether or not AMD's first QC part would in fact be the "K8L" as originally meant by Charlie (meaning, double FP + other faster Conroe-like core features), about which Charlie recently wrote that he thought it was NOT to be until late 07 / early 08 http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33906 (and I also believed this was by far the more likely case), I decided, what the heck, why doesn't someone just ask AMD IR the specific question?

So I did.

Dear AMD Investor Relations,

I've read many comments from Henri Richard and others in various articles, discussing the Quad Core part coming in "mid 2007" (sometimes more specifically described as Q2).

I have also seen the features on your Tech Roadmap, and in other presentations, concerning "128-bit FP" and "enhanced IPC core".

My question is simple:

(1) Does the first Quad Core part scheduled for "mid 2007" contain the "128-bit FP" and "enhanced IPC" technology, or will the latter technology be delivered at some other point in 2007, in a different product?

In several interviews, the implied answer seems to be "yes", but I have yet to see it made explicit. Can you clear this up for me?



I expected the usual "we cannot say anything more than you've read already" routine.

So, this morning, I was quite surprised to receive the following reply from AMD IR:

Hi XXXX -

First Quad Core part scheduled for "mid 2007" contain the "128-bit FP"
and "enhanced IPC" technology.

看看AMD会不会在功耗频率上放卫星吧

4core功耗和2core相当, 这不容易做到

又没说多少频率的4核和多少频率的2核相当。

4核要和2核相同核心、相同频率、相同工艺、相同电压的2核功耗相当
