Hey my friends!

I have checked AMD´s site and I have not found any news about their processors. The only as they have developed is their ATI- Graphic cards for use as GPU´s. There seems not having happened any with their processors. They still have Opteron and Phenom. But perhaps they have launched a second generation of Phenom as have 6 cores as I not have noticed. But the speed seems not have increased.

Is there not a marked in Distributed computing for Intel 8 cores and AMD Phenom II whit 6 cores no longer? Or have the factory reached a way as they not can follow? Out there is so many DC-project and all is not for GPU´s.

Am I right if I say AMD now use their money on graphic cards and not processors for computers?

I think AMD's recent 6 core chip for the desktop market is a decent chip for the price. I still mostly run WCG and they only use CPU at the current time. I have been running a few GPU, but most of that science doesn't thrill me. The money i spend on electricity I feel is better spent on Medical research projects. If its heating season i don't mind putting a few GPU to work as a guy can always use the heat. In the summer time it gets to be to much for me when I'm trying to keep the house cool. The GPU can really rack up the points if thats all your interested in.

AMD announced already 8 and 12 core processors for servers... I put it on the website news sometime ago :)

There was at least one thread around here about getting a motherboard that holds 4 cpu's and making a 48-core machine! (4x12 cores)
