Advanced Micro Devices on Monday introduced its fastest quad-core server chips to date, two new 2-socket and two new 8-socket processors dubbed Opteron SE. Following a highly publicized setback late last year in its initial ramp of quad-core processors caused by a silicon glitch, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD and OEM partners finally hit the market with B3-revision chips in March. After splashy launch parties around the globe way back in September of last year, the ramp of the product codenamed Barcelona is finally proceeding apace with the introduction of two new 2.4GHz and two new 2.5GHz parts. The 2.4GHz quad-core Opteron 2358 SE is priced at $873 on AMD's Website, while the new top-of-the-line 2-socket released Monday by AMD, the 2.5GHz 2360 SE, has a price tag of $1,165. Adding clock speed to its 8-socket quad-core portfolio are the new 2.4GHz 8358 SE, priced at $1,865, and the 2.5GHz 8360 SE, which runs a cool $2,149.

Nvidia, AMD Battle it over USB 3.0 Specification
By Techtree News Staff Jun 9, 2008
The latest feud to hit the tech world is Nvidia and AMD haggling over the acquisition of the USB 3.0 specification to apply it in their upcoming products. USB 3.0 promises ten times the speed of USB 2.0 (5 Gigabits per second), and is billed to become the standard for PCs and other devices of the future. Intel claimed to have formed the USB Implementers Forum in 1995 to support and accelerate adoption of USB-compliant peripherals. It's obvious Intel will not share the specifications with CPU and chip set competitors; the likes of AMD, Nvidia, Via Technologies, etc, are now driven to develop yet another USB 3.0 specification.
