The release of AMD's latest Opteron chip followed less than a week after Intel (NSDQ: INTC) announced that it would begin production of an eight-core Nehalem-EX processor, officially called the Xeon 7400 line, this year.

Typical of Intel.

AMD announces an actual product while Intel announces something even BETTER... that isn't available yet.

AMD rocks with the comparatively few resources it has.

Can probably expect to see a full scale realtime raytraced video game come out when we see 16 core processors.

A new feature in Istanbul is...

...that you can expect your PC to stop working five times a day while it turns toward Mecca to execute a loud muezzin audio routine. (Your loudness-control will be over-ridden by this routine.)

launched its six-core server processor code-named Istanbul, saying computer makers this month would be selling high-powered products incorporating the chip... Intel announced that it would begin production of an eight-core Nehalem-EX processor... systems are expected in 2010.

Thanks Ernest.
