Advanced Micro Devices has again upped the stakes in its processor performance race with rival Intel.
Microsoft is migrating many of its internal servers to the new 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003, but questions remain about the market for the desktop version.
The chipmaker loses Gateway and says it will lay off 2,300 workers.
Stung by pressure from Advanced Micro Devices, PC chip market leader Intel will sharply cut prices this month on its newest processor to regain momentum for the holiday shopping season - however thin its margins become.
The 325 line of desktop computers for small and midsize businesses will contain Athlon chips, continuing Hewlett-Packard's backing of the AMD chip in corporate models.
Intel won't ship a 4GHz version of the Pentium 4 until the first quarter of 2005, the latest in a series of delays for the chip-making giant.
No longer playing catch-up, AMD sees an opportunity to race ahead of bigger rival Intel, says CTO Fred Weber.
Advanced Micro Devices' "Hammer" processor will contain up to about 100 million transistors, according to sources.
Advanced Micro Devices has pushed out the release of its highly anticipated Hammer chip for desktops by almost a quarter, and plans to delay the release of another Athlon chip.
Intel's new 3GHz Pentium 4 chip should soon let loose a torrent of new, high-performance desktop PCs.
Advanced Micro Devices has beefed up its desktop processor line with the new Athlon XP 3000+ processor.
The 325 line of desktop computers for small and midsize businesses will contain Athlon chips, continuing Hewlett-Packard's backing of the AMD chip in corporate models.
AMD releases the last chip in a product family that helped resurrect the company.
The new Athlon XP 3200+ processor is due in the second quarter of the year, setting up a new battle with the Pentium 4.
PC makers will show off systems containing Intel's 3GHz Pentium 4 on Nov. 14, a few days before the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas.
