November 2002 Hardware Digest
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: TotalRecall
Digit-Life has a Hardware Digest up for last November.
The situation with mobile CPUs, supporting HT, is more complex. According to industry sources, mainly due to Microsoft delays of Hyper-Threading and C3/C4 power saving modes implementation. So the Hyper-Threading mobile support might appear only in Longhorn.
The development of products, supporting more than two virtual processors, will be the main line of Hyper-Threading evolution for these years. There's no specific data on this question, but supposedly the next generation processors with Nehalem core, expected in H2 2004, will be able to handle up to four threads. In other words, 4-processor server will feature 16 virtual devices.
The development of TLP (Thread-Level Parallelism) won't be limited to IA-32 platform. TLP is expected in the next generation of 64-bit IA-64 (Itanium). Most likely, it will happen closer to 2005 along with the appearance of new 64-bit 65-nm Chivano featuring about 400 sq.mm core, about 100 million transistors, and several processing cores per chip.
If you've fell behind over the last month, check it out.
