Advanced Micro Devices’ dual-core Opteron processor will boost performance 30 to 55 percent over single-core Opterons, the company said at the Fall Processor Forum yesterday. AMD also said it is on target to release the chips for one- to eight-way servers in mid-2005, beating Intel to market. Analysts, however, question whether first-to-market will be enough of an edge. AMD says x86 versions of the chip for workstations and PCs will come out in the second half of 2005.
