MPF 2001 - Servers And Workstation CPUs Take Center Stage
Краткое содержание статьи: There was a dramatic drop-off in attendance at this year's Microprocessor Forum, but the server market is going to heat up with AMD joining the fray with Intel, Sun, and IBM. We got a first look at AMD's Athlon 2000+ XP, ATI's Xilleon, Intel's IA-32 and IA-64 roadmaps, Via's C5 roadmap, and more discussions on the MHz processor game.

ATI's Xilleon 220

ATI unveiled information on a set-top box chipset called Xilleon 220 at the conference, and while it is not directly relevant to our focus on the desktop, it is of some interest.

ATI has long wanted to leverage its expertise in graphics and digital video to break into the high volume markets of set-top boxes (nearly 120 million network set-top boxes are projected to ship by 2005 according to Cahners In-Stat), satellite receivers, and those fanciable PVR (programmable video recorders). Xilleon 220 shows how far ATI has come and points out some interesting difference between Nvidia and ATI in their approach to their respective futures.

Xilleon 220 Architecture Overview

If you want integration, this is a beauty. The Xilleon 220 has pretty much everything you need from a system-on-a-chip (SOC) for the digital TV market. We all know about ATI's expertise and quality application with digital video hardware from its graphics boards, and it's good to see the transition the company has made into this extremely competitive, and thankless market.

It's got an integrated 300 MHz MIPS CPU running Linux, Win CE, and VxWorks. It interfaces to PCI, or an xDSL modem so, you can easily add peripherals to a design. It can drive two TVs. It has a 32/64 bit DDR/SDR interface, and can get approximately 3 GB/sec of memory bandwidth through two memory channels.

You can build a box to PVR multiple video windows which means that you can decide between 4 programs not to watch. You can attach a wireless 802.11 transmitter for a home network. Have sophisticated 2D/3D overlay graphics for a GUI.

I liked it. I hadn't kept up with ATI's work in the set-top box area. In fact, I thought they might have given up, but there's shades of the GameCube in the design of some of the interfaces, and it's good see that ATI is sticking to this strategy.

Now, Nvidia, on the other hand, is going down the long and winding road of integrating more and more of the PC's components.

So, both companies are approaching it from different ends of the spectrum: Nvidia top-down, and ATI bottom-up. All this knowledge has to end up benefiting Joe Public at some point.

История мейнфреймов: от Harvard Mark I до System z10 EC
Верите вы или нет, но были времена, когда компьютеры занимали целые комнаты. Сегодня вы работаете за небольшим персональным компьютером, но когда-то о таком можно было только мечтать. Предлагаем окунуться в историю и познакомиться с самыми знаковыми мейнфреймами за последние десятилетия.

Пятнадцать процессоров Intel x86, вошедших в историю
Компания Intel выпустила за годы существования немало процессоров x86, начиная с эпохи расцвета ПК, но не все из них оставили незабываемый след в истории. В нашей первой статье цикла мы рассмотрим пятнадцать наиболее любопытных и памятных процессоров Intel, от 8086 до Core 2 Duo.
