AMD Doesn't Trust its Own Processors - Project Quantum Driven by Intel Core i7-4790K

[Durvelle27]

For all the nasayers

"We have Quantum designs that feature both AMD and Intel processors, so we can fully address the entire market. I'm sure you've heard AMD leaders speak before about how we're driving growth in the company and our key businesses, and that one of the key strategies we have for doing that is listening to customers.

You may have heard at the recent AMD financial analyst day that Lisa Su described Job #1 as "Build Great Products." In the case of buyers for systems like Project Quantum, there is a clear preference for choice; they're not interested in a narrow range of computing solutions - they want to pick and choose the balance of components that they want, that are hand-tailored in a world of off-the-rack-suits.

With a product as compelling as R9 Fury, we are extremely pleased to enable as much success as we can. There is a range of technology options for CPU in Project Quantum… but the real star is Radeon Fury."

Do you see any new products with Denver cores? Does the lattest Nvidia products use cores from ARM and not Denver?

Well this seems all a bit off topic - your bailiwick it seems.
You must be new to technology.
Project Denver is ARM based

Do you see any new products with Denver cores?

You mean like the X1 powered Shield ? AFAIA, X1 is being marketed for automotive in-car features (sensors. cameras) and entertainment systems, but it is being validated for consumer products aside from Shield.
You seem to think that Project Denver is something other than what it was always purported to be ( you're not alone Charlie D. couldn't work it out either). Maybe this from a couple of months back will shed some light

Tegra X1: The Heart Of the SHIELD Android TV - The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Review: A Premium 4K Set Top Box
Octa core, with 4 A57 cores and 4 A53 cores, not Denver cores.

Nvidia made two versions of K1. One with 2 Denver cores and one with 4 ARM cores. They used Denver cores in

Dual-core Denver CPU paired with a Kepler-based GPU solution (Tegra K1); the dual-core 2.3 GHz Denver was first used in the HTC Nexus 9 tablet, released November 3, 2014.[5][6]

based on your wiki page.

X1 is using 8 ARM cores. NO DENVER CORES. That's why they do not advertise the type of cores used in the new Shield device.

You may also want to look at the slides in the KitGuru article that you also posted. It says "ARM cores". So, NO DENVER CORES.

You are full of smoke.

-When AMD uses its own cpu peple say:
"Too sad for such hardware to get bottlenecked by such cpu just because AMD wants to use its own hardware"

-when AMD uses Intel cpu they say:
"AMD doesnt trust its hardware..

soo true. if someone was to benchmark the quantum pc with amd cpu they would say its slower than a pair of 960 in sli...

Uh... are you seriously arguing Denver is x86 based on the fact two Denver cores were used in the Nexus 9 (which is an ARM based device?). Or am I misunderstanding this?

There is no mention of X86 anywhere in that post.

Thanks. I plead sleep deprivation. That was pretty stupid, but I coudl've sworn I saw it earlier.... lol.

I do that too sometimes, or a lot of the time if I am honest.

It was just one of a few examples I used, where a company doesn't use it's own proprietary tech and that thing didn't lead to an editorial and 8 pages of comments. No mention of x86.

Yeah, is all good man. Just misread your post.

Yes I understood that. Just wanted to be clear.

Either way, this was by far the worst Marketing goof AMD pulled this year.

 

[john_]

It was just one more example of press using double standards and a proof that many hardware funs are happy to point a gun at AMD. On the other hand, for similar cases, involving other companies, logic prevails over mockery.

Either way, your view is filled with double standards
