AMD announced this week that with the help of server market leader HP, it would be demonstrating the industry’s first x86 dual-core processor in an HP ProLiant DL585 server powered by four dual-core Opteron processors for an eight-way server. A day after Intel announced a march to more efficient, 65-nanometer (nm) technology, AMD executive vice president Dirk Meyer said his company’s new dual-core processors — built with a 90 nm manufacturing process — marked a milestone that “changes the dynamics of the computing business.”
