Out of curiosity, aren't the new Opteron chips named "Istanbul"? They're 6-cores, right? Being announced June 1, 2009. The current 2300 and 8300 series are called "Shanghai".
The PC maker announced Thursday it recorded a net income of $290 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, and earnings of 24 cents per share, or 15 cents per share when accounting for write downs from severance pay and factory closings during the quarter. That's down 63 percent from the $784 million, and 38 cents per share recorded a year ago. Revenues were also down 23 percent to $12.3 billion.
Are these microchips better than the intel's i7 processor which offers a newly explored experience of computing especially in the field of gaming which offer some really advanced graphics?
yes ,are these micro chips give us advance graphics in gaming field.
