VHJ: AMD at MPF: Hammering Open Bottlenecks The K8: A Model Of Efficiency
The K8 is AMD’s newest family of CPU’s. The chips will be produced on a 0.13 micron SOI [ed: Silicon-On-Insulator -- a technology that potentially wastes less energy and therefore allows chips to run cooler and faster] process and are set to debut in volume in the second half of next year. AMD has designed the K8 family to be an all-in-one solution, from high end server products to low power / high performance notebooks. Judging by the success its predecessor, the Athlon or K7, has had filling these market positions, it’s likely the K8 will continue to expand that trend.
