Um, Core 2 Duo wasn't copied. It's actually a Pentium 3, but with very clever changes
Hehe, you're right. They copied the previous technology and now the onboard memory controller
. Still the idea is the same.-

you might say they copied integrated memory controller, but what other bus option did they have? Intel had pushed the FSB to 1600mhz, and they discovered that FSB just doesn't scale, when you go from 1066mhz to 1333mhz, you see the same or less performance increase as 1333mhz to 1600mhz.
So if Intel continued using FSB, their would be epic bandwidth issues. As a results, Intel used the only bus that could be modified to run on newer ram (ddr3 etc), and also something that could scale better. It just so happened that AMD saw the issue, that Intel was experiencing, coming.

So you say... Just as AMD happend to see that 64bit would only be successful in the mainstream if it was built as an extention of the existing 32bit architecture ?
Come to think of it, they also just happend to see that multiple cores would be the future since clock speed (which they also foresaw) is not the be all and end all?
So actually what you are saying is that AMD has got their hands on some sort of crystal ball ? Or they are just much more advanced than intel?
Back to the FSB issue - AMD and Transmeta (another company intel murdered) developed HyperTransport for use in many highspeed interconntects. Lets do a little name drop : The technology is used by AMD and Transmeta in x86 processors, PMC-Sierra, Broadcom, Raza Microelectronics, and Loongson in MIPS microprocessors, AMD, NVIDIA, VIA and SiS in PC chipsets, HP, Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Flextronics in servers, Cray, Newisys, QLogic, and XtremeData, Inc. in high performance computing, and Cisco Systems in routers.
Only one missing is intel - cause they are stupid

Did amd not steal the quadcore idea from intel? Took them so long to get a quadcore, it was intel's idea first.
Damn you amd you bunch of thieves.
