In a demonstration session for the media at its Silicon Valley headquarters yesterday, AMD revealed a few more details about its plans for its upcoming enthusiast-oriented platform, code-named 4×4. Read on to see why 4×4 may prove to be a really nice development for PC hobbyists, not just a stunt to distract attention from The Other Guy’s shiny new processors.
It’s really good to hear that you will not need a pricy FX processor to take advantage of this. However, it does not look like you will be able to just go out and pick up a 3800+ X2 and expect it to work. When AMD finally has it figured out, things are going to be interesting.
