[Turtle 1]

Ya this is a tuff one to swallow but MS already licensed for x86 by intel

[DTU_XaVier]

I don't think it'll be an end-consumer product as such, more like a server/office CPU... Much like the Dragon CPUs in China... :)

right, cause intel doesnt sell cpus in china. i think you and nn_step should have a fanboyoff, i would root for nn only because hes not as big of an ass...

And it will brobably require a clean legal version of the Latest Windows Vista Os. Probably wont work with any other Os out there.

So you fear for the much promised DRAGON!! chip now:ROTF:

You better hope its the lx version they mean and not th nx version

Lx=Weak not a real Amd core K6 probably beats it
nx=Low power version of k7 aka Dragon killer;)

If M$ is going to make a CPU, no way in hell is it going to be x86, because Intel and AMD have too much of an edge

Your missing the point. Godson processors are developing extremely fast.

As far as power goes. Ya their behind Godson 3 is = to a p4 perclock. So their not that far behind.

Intel and AMD want a large piece of the china pie. But China has other plans. Than to let Intel and AMD rule the world. Thanks to AMD x86 license agreement with China . China should beable to build X86 processors built on Intel tech. After AMD got a license from intel for x86 intel couldn't stop amd from using it. So same will apply to China. Courts in USA have already set a prelude in the intel vs amd case.

[nn_step]

umm part of the AMD/Intel case, says that AMD has unlimited access to x86 but it can NOT give out licenses to x86

One reason for the effort is that Microsoft needs to begin thinking about the next-generation design of its Xbox game console, said Charles P. Thacker, a veteran engineer and Microsoft engineer who will head the Silicon Valley group. Voice recognition may also be an area where the research could play a significant role.
In the chip design effort, another longtime Microsoft researcher, Rich P. Draves, who has worked in various areas including networking and security, will head the Redmond group.

Original news source (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/19/technology/19soft.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin)

Two great men are involved in the groups. This gonna be big for M$. But this certainly won`t be for desktop/server use.

Fist of all the current Godson aka Dragon is this fast

he 64-bit Godson 2c 400-800 MHz CPU used in the machine has a MIPS-like instruction set, and is roughly as fast as a 500-mhz Pentium III. The Godson II is made exclusively in China, and consumes relatively little power for its speed in comparison to x86 Intel and compatible AMD chips. A similar Chinese laptop project called the Longmeng also uses the Godson II.

And from this article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godson


By 2008, Godson-3 is scheduled to enter production.

Now what does that means
Late 2008? , and what do they mean by enter production?. My guess here is test production and not mass production .

Summarize
The Dragon 3 will come in 2008 or perhaps even as late as q4 2008 /2009 and will have the power of a Pentium 4.

Now i wonder where Amd and Intel will be at then:D .
Hint:The lowest end of their cpus will brobably be faster than the Godson 3

M$ CPU, you have to call in and register it each time you overclock it....

no, not really. you have intel in your sig, are you an intel fanboy? guess you are... youre saying the crap that turtle spills about amd is true? nn calls me an intel fanboy when i say conroe is faster, you call me an amd fanboy cause i point out that turtle is a ******

funny but yet for some reason i can almost imagine it happening...i just dont trust M$ enough to buy a CPU from them, i mean jeez i like windows and all but its got some annoying problems every now and then and thats something i dont need from a cpu if u kinda get what im saying

[cky2k6]

theyre not going to make a desktop cpu... theyre gonna focus on more specialized markets like their consoles, or handhelds.

[onewingedangel]

Probably just for the xbox successor - they'll likely licence IP from IBM, transmeta, via etc (intel and amd wouldn't licence their IP, and Microsoft don't want to be held up on prices like the original xbox). and outsource the production to various fabs.

Judging on the xbox360 and ps3, It would be better to just come to agreements with the main PC market players to bring their hardware together - using non specialised mass market products.

Just have a set minimum standard and architecture, and just go through the process shrinks/upgrades with them. Have the 'console' badge just mean guaranteed compatability at a minimum set of requirements for the end user - Much like intels platform branding should in theory (a VIIV box as a home entertainment hub/console?)

[vudoodoodoo]

I bet they fail and then try to buy a Intel or AMD.

if anyone, its amd. intel is too big...

i do not think that givng china a x86 license for the geode cpu is going to hurt anyone , it surely isn't going to hurt amd or intel , and neither is the dragon
from your link

The licensing of core x86 AMD Geode(TM) processor technology to Peking University via collaboration with MOST will contribute to China's development of low-power and embedded x86 processor technology in the Greater China region. MOST will facilitate discussions between AMD and Chinese companies receiving access to x86 technology licenses. AMD will earn revenue from licensing the AMD Geode processor to commercial entities designated by Peking University and MOST.

Intel has a market cap of ~110Mil
AMD has a market cap of ~10Mil (and may go under that today the way their stock is tanking).

MSFT has a market cap of ~280Mil.

What's new? :confused: As good as all big companies are in China now making ties of all sorts with big smiles on their faces. :D

I hate to brake it to you but big companies are not patriotic, they are "profi-otic". Next time you drink a Fanta you should know how Coca Cola came up with it. They wanted a share of the marcet of Nazi Germany and Nazi taken Europe. But selling Coca cola in the streets of Berlin in the late 1930s and early 1940s would be too dangerous as it's illegal to do buisness at wartime with an enemy. So they came up with Fanta witch drew less attention to the Coca Cola Co. than Coke would.

And IBM delivered punch card machines to the Nazis that were used to organize the Holocaust. The CEO of Ibm at that time knew very well what the machines would be used for (The Nazis weren't shy, you know). The machines were also used by the Nazi military to organize the forces that were invading Europe and later killing American troops. Ironic isn't it, American soldiers killed by machines made by Americans. And all big smiles in the IBM boardroom. :D


Not buying? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_IBM#World_War_II :fact:

"Black also published IBM's own internal reports admitting that these machines made the Nazis much more efficient in their efforts"


Big companies show ALL the criteria for psykopathy by the way.

And as far as what your "way of life" goes... It and democracy went out the window with the patriotic act :usa:. So how does that tyranny air taste like in "the land of the free"?

The old Romans were patriotic and proud untill the very end as the whole empire came caving down from within out from unlimited GRrrreeeed.:pimp:
John Lennon said something like: "USA is the new Roman empire and NY is the new Rome".

Remember that History has a way of repeating itself. :fact:
