AMD to Collaborate with Commex

And now our first post for year 2008 coming from the AMD corner, a story which all AMD admirers will like. Advanced Micro Devices has reached a collaboration agreement with the Israeli Commex, a chip company founded two years ago by president and CEO Tal Horowitz together with brothers Yehuda and Zohar Zisapel who joined him as seed investors in the company. Horowitz comes from the Intel development center in Haifa, where he was involved as a senior member of the development team of the dual core processors. Now he is going to work for AMD. Under the deal, the chipset which Commex develops for multi-core processors will be distributed together with AMD's next-gen processor solutions. Commex is expected to begin continuous production in May of this year.

hmmmm . . . it looks as if AMD is very carefuly planning a backwoods roadmap to re-enter the arena full-swing. This is looking very, very promising for their future in the long run

agreed - but, it comes across as if this deal with AMD will be in an area that they don't have to worry too much about fervent competition.

Something tells me that Intel are going to get completely run over...

Israel = where the good shit comes from...

Israel's Intel dev designed the core architecture... and what a success it was.

i also get the feeling that nVidia will somehow be blindsided by this in the chipset arena also . . .

I'd just be happy to read that there is green coming into AMD's future instead of hearing about how they are losing this, and losing that...And I think think of it this way.... now that I'm up to date on everything system wise... my next system may only need a mobo and chip!!! :rockout: Unless DDR3 is the only way to go...:banghead:

Now, if Intel was smart they would make some core 2 chips that fit into an AMD socket. That would be cool...

give it time, man . . . give it time . . .


anyhow, let's see . . . AMD just partnered up with an Israeli chipset engineering/manufacturing firm; ass to the fact that AMD's RS780 has taken the upperhand in the chipset world . . . AMD has also recently licensed Crossfire X for Intel P45 chipsets . . . we've also learned of AMD hiring on a few engineers that worked on the Itanium processors . . . this year they've also hired a former IBM executive for silicone design . . . they've also recently hired on a new CTO that comes from a vast microprocessor background . . .

I tell ya - something's in the mix, and I don't think either Intel or nVidia will see it coming. AMD/ATI have been leaking a lot of "previews" of hardware that is nowhere near finished . . . a little odd, IMO - I think they're just smoke screens meant to obscure what they're really up to.

This would be an absolute great time to start investing into some AMD stock.

And where are they going to get that tech. haha. Core2s = not advanced :slap:

(of course that's ignoring licensing and etc, this isn't the s370 days)

Yeah, the Phenom FX in your avatar which we will never see stomps it doesnt it? Honestly I'm confused by your statement.

It's all a matter of connecting the chip to the pins.. correctly..

I'd have to agree with you there, I bought some a few months ago and lost pretty big. Now my stock is worth half of what it was. It's cheap, buy it up people!! Even though I lost half I know in the long run (hopefully shorter than longer), I will make my money back plus some. I'm really glad that AMD is taking steps to fix things rather than scrambling to sell and run. They really need to come out with an archetecture that buries Yorkfield in the way the A64's buried the Pentiums. Hopefully the cycle will continue. But, yeah if you like AMD and want them to succeed, buy thier stock. If you need help on where to start buying stock, PM me and I can give you some recommedations on where to go.

Yup, the more money you pump into AMD, the more you'll be helping it financially in rolling out a new badass processor. You can tell people "my money went into creating this chip".

I think the Phenom FX went out the window with the FX-7x's. Thats the last anyones heard about FX cpus from them. AMD is doing good getting all the help they can get, sure put them in a good position to take on Intel and compete in both performance and pricing.

If the Phenom did work right it would be a great price for the performance.
