AMD Restructures to Combine Graphics and Chip Units

AMD Restructures to Combine Graphics and Chip Units

Struggling chipmaker AMD has been trying all sorts of new business tactics to keep itself afloat after two solid years of losses in its competition with Intel—including spinning off its fabs into GlobalFoundries so, technically, AMD has no manufacturing capability of its own anymore.n Now, the company has announced a major restructuring that combines its chip unit with the remnants of graphics developer ATI in a move to spur development of integrated graphics and computing processors. And as part of the reorganization, the senior VP of AMD’s microprocessor group, Randy Allen, will be leaving the company.

AMD Rolls Out 45nm Quad-Core Opteron CPUs

Chipmaker AMD has formally rolled out its new 45nm Quad-Core Opteron processors. Dubbed “Shanghai” and aimed at the high performance workstation and server market, the new CPUs are designed to offer advanced virtualization capabilities—so one processor can, in effect, host several systems, potentially running different operating systems—and more efficient operation: according to AMD, the new chips offer up to 35 percent more performance than previous AMD processors, while running on up to 35 percent less power. Although the chip comes almost a year after Intel shipped its 45 nm workstation and server processors, AMD is hoping to capture additional marketshare by offering a more efficient chip designed to handle virtualization more easily.
