It seems that quad-core processors from AMD will soon cease to be the apogee of consumer technology - on the way 12-core chips. However, is whether the 12- core processor computer to run 12 times faster? . However, as reported by the end of 2008 the market will be released on 45 nm processor, which is likely to be called Shanghai - not as the successor to the successful Barcelona chip.

Originally planned as a project of Shanghai 6- core processor, manufactured using the technology of HyperTransport 3. 0, which would constitute a direct competition to the upcoming commercialization of the development of Dunnington from Intel, which MobileDevice. ru wrote a little earlier. However, 6 -core version is not yet ready for launch, so the emphasis is on the 12- nuclear option. Particularly welcome, of course, is the use of HyperTransport technology of the third version, while many manufacturers are not yet fully mastered the second.
