    Both Intel and Amd use SOI just applied diffrently afaik.

    32nm will be offcourse with the high-k gate, since the second revision off 45nm will already be based on that tech. Atleast that's what I could summarize

    Hmm, not just that. The L2 is per core in these chips where as the L3 is shared allowing the cores to trade data. Having it at full (core) speed could have some advantages...

    Immersion can go to 32nm already. From what im reading 22nm might be a possibility if better photoresists will get produced. With all the recent news about AMDs EUV tests there is a lot of speculation that AMD is targeting it for 22nm. Intel has dug itself into a hole here by not adopting Immersion at 45nm as they might have to switch again at 22nm to EUV and thats going to be costly(32nm(immersion), 22nm(EUV)). I also agree with JumpingJack that AMD seems to have stopped developing 65nm for a while now. There has been zero improvements in 65nm K8s and that says a lot.

    You forgot to specify the year. My guess is 2015-2020. With lucky.

    yeah I was getting confused about fd-soi as Intel did research into that before.

    Are there any load pics? Why are there no 100% load pics when it's supposed to work? (taskmanager always around ~10%)
    or am I blind?

    OMG,it's a conspiracy!!!
    Without the captured load bars in task manager we must conclude that AMD demoed unstable chips running at @2V with LN2..
    /sarcasm off

    Seriously,the first ES chips(45nm) are shipped to major partners for validation and testing,as of Febr. ...

    Here is the load bars at "slightly higher" than 10% mark:

    Hopefully Shanghai will do what Barcelona was supposed to and run the NB/L3at a HIGHER frequency than the CPU. That alone could improve performance by up to 5-10%.
    So in theory Shanghai should be slightly faster than Penryn clock-for-clock but it will get demolished by Nehalem.
    Whoa, can you link me to a source?

    That would be amazing if AMD could boost Shanghai's performance that high.

    I've always wanted to go back to AMD, but unfortunately Barcelona wasn't tempting enough..

    If Shanghai performs as reported though, I might just make the jump, then go back to Intel once Nehalem is on 32nm..

    Are you certain? I can understand a demo, but just a last month, AMD was saying 'we expect first silicon in January', first silicon in January to shipping sampling to customers is way way too soon.

    Is DC 2 already implimented in Barcelona, or is that comming in Shanghai?

    http://www.intel.com/technology/sili...ee/soi2000.pdf

    I do not recall Intel producing any literature on FD, but they did do a pilot run on PD-SOI, from this they reported the same advantageous gains expected in SOI, but also concluded that it would not scale as well in later nodes:

    Another SOI parameter that scales poorly is the history effect
    on delay.
    100 nm devices described have the best Ion-Ioff characteristics
    reported for 0.18 mm generation PD-SOI. SOI inverter delay of
    7.4 ps is obtained at Vdd=1.5V and Lgate=100 nm. However, the
    expected performance gain for PD-SOI diminishes dramatically
    for 50nm devices due to (i) aggressive reduction of junction
    capacitance for our bulk CMOS, (ii) the reduced impact of area
    junction capacitance with scaling, and (iii) increased history
    effect on delay for scaled Vdd
    This SOI vs Bulk debate was fought long and hard between Intel and IBM, Intel's argument was the the costs associated with going SOI were not justified, but my opinion is that there were probably also a stack of patents 10 feet high they would have needed to either a) work around or b) coughed up serious licensing dough that they simply stuck with bulk.

    In any event, the 130 nm -> 90 -> 65 nm -> 45 nm (this one still a ?) scaling for SOI would appear to have validated thier position on the technical side.

    It was a lot of fun watching IBM and Intel jocky and chest thump over this

    EDIT: Intel is using SOI though for their silicon photonic wave guides : http://www.eetasia.com/ART_880035941...T_c75656df.HTM but this is out of complete necessity, you need a completely enclosed cavity to refract the light through the optical path, the burried oxide is needed to completely the enclosure.

    Neither. Montreal will be the first MP product to feature HT3

    Thanks JumpingJack, was a good readup cleared some off my confusion

    Though I can't read the article in your edit, I'll bookmark it and might sign up there tomorrow ( can't be arsed right now )

    No it won't -- much like HT does not do a massive amount for K8/K10 in single socket DT workloads ... what it does do is allows the memory controller to be moved on die... which will provide a big difference. Thus, the memory access path is not in contention with all the other IO that might occur.

    EDIT: CSI effective BW though will be much higher though ... http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cf...WT082807020032 David did a great job here picking apart Intel patents over the past several years to peice together some of the CSI technical details.

    Initial CSI implementations in Intel’s 65nm and 45nm high performance CMOS processes target 4.8-6.4GT/s operation, thus providing 12-16GB/s of bandwidth in each direction and 24-32GB/s for each link [30] [33].
    at 1333 Mhz, Intel currenlty provides peak BW of 10.65 GB/sec in one direction only.

    No problem .. the article in my last edit was just a google on "Intel SOI Silicon Photonics" you will get several links....

    My point wasn't is it accurate or not, even if it is... it is nothing to worry about or get excited about ... first silicon typically is way below targeted goals, it usually takes 2 or 3 revisions before final/retail silicon makes it.

    The milestone here is not did they make a sellable part... the milestone is they show working silicon. This is about 10x more than what they showed for 65 nm ... heck, they launched 65 nm and it was a month or two later before anyone actually saw working silicon.

    Yeah, in your link they used SOI to build # 2 in the cartoon about 2/3's down the article.
