The early days of the K8 were awesome, the FX would kill whatever Intel threw at AMD, it was brutal. Even cheap Athlons were better than highend Pentiums, and prescott? a disaster, plain and simple.
Is ironic that AMD hired Keller since Intel too found it's way out of the Netburst fiasco by going back to Tualatin, which at the same time had more in common with the good old Pentium Pro than it did with coppermine and katmai.
- throwaway64 14y agocoppermine and katmai were architectural steps between the pentium pro and Tualatin, perhaps you meant northwood and prescott, the codenames of p4 chips.
- DeepDuh 14y agoDidn't Intel base Core Duo on their Israel branch' Pentium M design? I don't remember too much about the architecture codenames but were they similar to Pentium Pro?
- JVIDEL 14y agoPentium M was based on the Tualatin
- nl 14y agoYes. The Core microarchitecture was designed by Israel's Intel Israel (IDC) team that previously designed the Pentium M mobile processor[1] The Pentium III Tualatin (mentioned above) and the Pentium M are closely related.
