2010 Laptop Roadmaps for AMD and Intel

In my last post, I talked about desktop roadmaps for AMD and Intel; this time I'd like to look at the mobile roadmaps. 2010 is shaping up to be an interesting year for laptop computers, but in some ways, it's just a stopgap until even bigger changes come the following year.

On the processor front, the big news will probably come early next year, when Intel will introduce its "Arrandale" chip, the mobile version of the dual core 32nm Westmere line. This chip will have two cores, but with support for hyperthreading, it will support four threads. This is part of the company's "Calpella" platform (based on its 5-series chipset). Arrandale may come out under different brand names (Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7), with the differentiation due to support for turbo boost and the amount of cache available on each chip.

One big change with this chip is that it will include both a 32nm processor die and a 45nm graphics die on the same chip, as Intel integrates more features. Since the bulk of laptops use integrated graphics, it will be very interesting to see how this performs compared with AMD's existing integrated graphics, which have typically been faster than Intel's equivalent.

On the higher end, the company recently introduced the quad-core (eight-thread) "Clarksfield" chip, which is sold under the Core i7 brand. It is also part of the "Calpella" platform.

You will probably still see a number of Core 2 Duo notebooks (based on the older "Santa Rosa" and "Montevina" platforms) on the market for some time, as well as machines using the Pentium and Celeron brand, which are mostly older designs with less cache, and sometimes a single core instead of two. Within this group, some processors are marked as "ultra-low voltage," which means they generally use less energy and so have slower clock speeds but better battery life. The bulk of this line has recently moved from single-core to dual-core processors, and it's likely we'll see the "Arrandale" chips move into this segment later in the year.

And of course, Atom will be the entry for netbooks, which has become a very large part of the market. Intel is planning on replacing its existing "Diamondville" version of Atom with a new processor called "Pineview" (on a platform it calls "PineTrail") early next year.

Within AMD's line, the big change will be the introduction of quad-core mobile processors and a new integrated graphics chipset that is DirectX 10.1-capable as part of its "Danube" platform, due out in the first half of 2010. The 45nm processor, which should be available in both dual- and quad-core versions, carries the code name "Champlain" but will likely get an official name in the Turion family. AMD is downplaying processor names in favor of its "Vision" platform (with Vision on the low end, Vision Premium for higher-end integrated graphics; and Vision Ultimate for machines with discrete graphics). AMD plans a version of its Direct X 11 discrete graphics for this market as well, which could be a very strong platform for gamers and others who need that level of graphics.

AMD is also planning a new version of its products for the "ultrathin" market in the first half of 2010, with a dual-core 45nm chip known as "Geneva." This will be part of the company's "Nile" platform and is aimed between the netbook segment and mainstream notebooks, with better battery life than a traditional notebook but more performance than a typical netbook (including a discrete graphics option, which seems unusual in this category).

All these products are interesting, but 2011 is when the architecture really changes, with processor cores and graphics cores coming together to form a single die from both companies. AMD has talked more about its strategy, planning for a platform called "Sabine" with a new quad-core "accelerated processing unit" codenamed "Llano" for mainstream notebooks; and a platform called "Brazos" with a new APU, "Ontario," that uses a new core called "Bobcat," designed for lower performance and longer battery life. Intel, too, is talking about combining graphics and processing on a single 32nm die in that time frame, but it hasn't shared many details yet.

I'm not sure yet whether a typical user will particularly care whether integrated graphics are on a chipset (as in most of today's mainstream notebooks); bundled with the CPU die into a single chip, as in Intel's Arrandale platform; or actually placed into a single die with the CPU, as both AMD and Intel plan for 2011. What matters is performance and reliability. Gamers and others who need high-end graphics will continue to choose discrete graphics, but the hope is that tighter integration will yield to better performance for video playback; light-duty video editing and encoding; web browsing; and light-to-medium-duty gaming. Of course, the proof will be in the platforms, and I'll be looking to see these.

Next up, server platforms.

2010 Server Roadmaps for AMD and Intel

In my last two posts, I looked at the desktop roadmaps and the notebook roadmaps from AMD and Intel, so now it's time to look at the company's plans for the server market. In some ways, this is most interesting roadmap, because a lot of new technology enters the market through server chips. 2010 promises to see some big changes.

In general, 2009 was not a great year for server sales, because global economic issues hurt enterprise IT spending across the board, and because more widespread adoption of features like virtualization meant that some organizations found they needed fewer physical servers. But there were some important technology changes: notably, Intel's introduction of an integrated memory controller and QuickPath Interconnect, which increased the memory bandwidth among multiple processors (something AMD has had for a while with HyperTransport) and the introduction of six-core processors from both vendors.

The server market divides up into a number of different categories, ranging from machines that are really more like desktops with a single processor, to today's mainstream of dual-processor capable machines, to multi-processor machines that can typically handle four or (with special chipsets) more processors. In addition, dual-processor-capable server chips are also often used in high-end workstations.

AMD has the same basic processor technology in all these fields, with its Opteron 1000 series, aimed at single-processor servers; Opteron 2000 series, aimed at one- and two-processor servers; and Opteron 8000 series, typically aimed at four- and eight-way servers. All are mostly covered by quad-core versions known as "Shanghai" and six-core versions known as "Istanbul." Both are 45nm processors and support HyperTransport, with the higher-end versions supporting HyperTransport 3 with a claimed maximum throughput of 57.6 GB/s.

In 2010, AMD plans on focusing on two new series. The 4000 series will focus on single and dual-socket servers, with a platform called "San Marino." This will have a new series of processors (but based on the existing processor core technology) known as "Lisbon," which is slated to come in both four- and six-core versions, and which will use two channels of memory. This platform is said to be optimized for high-energy efficiency, with some versions in which the cores should be using less than 6 watts each. It is slated to be out in the first half of next year.

The 6000 series will be aimed at two- and four-socket systems, with support for four channels of memory as part of a platform called "Maranello." This will feature 8 and 12-core processors, known as "Magny-Cours," which are essentially two die of the "Lisbon" processors.

This will be followed in 2011 with new processors based on the company's upcoming "Bulldozer" core, but with the platforms mostly staying the same. That year, the Opteron 4000 should get the "Valencia" 6- and 8-core processors, with the 6000 series getting the "Interlagos" 12- and 16-core processors.

Intel has a more diverse line of server processor families, with three lines of Xeon processors based on the x86 architecture that is standard in desktop and mobile chips. It also has the Itanium family, which is designed for larger "mission-critical" servers (and where it primarily competes with servers with other architectures, such as IBM's Power series and Sparc processors from Sun and Fujitsu.)

Of course, most of the volume is in the Xeon family. That starts out with the Xeon 3000 series, which is aimed at single-processor systems, and thus runs similar chips to those used in desktops. This is currently represented by the "Foxhollow" platform, and features the "Lynnfield" processor, a 45nm chip with 4 cores (also used in the Core i5). In 2010, the company plans to add a 32nm "Clarkdale" processor to this platform; as on the desktop side, that is a dual-core chip with hyperthreading, so it supports up to four threads. In addition, Intel has talked about making new lower-power versions of the Xeon 3000 series in early 2010.

The big push this year has been in the Xeon 5500 series, typically used in dual-socket servers in a platform known as "Tylersburg." These chips, known as "Nehalem-EP" are 45nm processors with four cores and eight threads, as well as support for the QPI interconnect. It's been particularly well received.

In 2010, the platform is slated to stay the same, but with a new 32nm version quad-core chip code-named "Westmere-EP." Intel has said this will have some new features including Intel Trusted Execution Technology, designed to make the system more secure, and AES acceleration, designed to protect the data.



For larger servers, Intel's Xeon 7000 series has been represented by the "Caneland" platform with a six-core 45nm chip known as "Dunnington" and an older 45nm quad-core design. These chips can be used in dual-socket servers, but are primarily designed for systems with four or eight sockets. This is slated to be joined shortly by a chip known as "Nehalem-EX," with eight cores and 16 threads. This will have four high-bandwidth links using the QuickPath architecture, and what Intel says is up to 9 times the memory bandwidth.

This is part of a new platform called "Boxboro," which will also eventually be used for a 32nm version of the chip known as "Westmere-EX." Typically, Intel rolls out the single- and dual-socket server products early in a design transition, with the multi-socket version coming later.

On the Itanium side, Intel also plans to move that to the Boxboro platform in the first half of 2010, with a new processor called the Itanium 9100 or "Tukwila." This will be a big change for Itantium adding things like DDR3 and QPI support. The roadmap there has two more chips slated for future years, called "Poulson" and "Kittson," but there aren't many details of those available yet.

Apple Tablet Prediction Is a 'No Brainer'

Research firm IDC has published an overview of its predictions for 2010, one of what the company promises will be the first of dozens of similar documents over the next few weeks.

The first top ten predictions deal with generally macroscopic predictions; for example, the first is a belief that that the IT industry will return to growth, increasing 3.2 percent to worldwide spending levels of about $1.5 trillion. (Marketing budgets, the foundation of Internet advertising, are expected to increase by 3 percent after falling 8 percent in 2009.)

The fifth prediction, however, should attract the most attention from consumers. In it, IDC predicts that (surprise, surprise) mobile devices are becoming more important. IDC takes the extra step, however, and claims that they're becoming platforms in their own right, and will eclipse PCs in their connections to the Internet. In total, over 1 billion phones will ship in 2010, IDC predicts, and about 16 percent of those will be smartphones.

IDC then goes on to call an Apple tablet a "no brainer":

"This year, however, we predict that Apple will finally introduce this new device family, which is more of an oversized (8in., 10in.) iPod Touch than a downsized Mac -- and if you look at the developer energy around the iPhone/Touch platform, this should be no surprise at all," IDC claimed. "This prediction is a no-brainer: there's enormous appeal in sizing up the iPhone/Touch for a variety of applications and activities that people already use those devices for but would jump at the chance to have a larger screen -- watching videos/movies, reading books/magazines/newspapers (it would take a big bite from the Kindle), surfing the Web, videophone, and online gaming. Look for Apple's "iPad" by year-end 2010. Oh, and don't be surprised to see Microsoft also announce its own device in this space."

IDC also predicts that there will be over 300,000 apps for the iPhone platform, and 50,000 to 75,000 apps for the Google Android OS, possibly fractured by the varying form factors of Android devices.

Unfortunately, IDC also trumpets the return to "good, better, best" pricing on netbooks, meaning an overall rise in ASPs. Over 40 million netbooks should ship, up from 30 million in 2009, according to the firm.

IDC also skewers 4G hype, claiming that only 125,000 phones will be 4G capable in 2010. 3G radios will continues to improve (HSPA+) while more and more devices will include 3G technology as "invisible" connectivity, a la the Amazon Kindle. The firm also predicted that so-called "over-the-top" VOIP services like Google Voice will be more heavily regulated by the FCC.

IDC also placed some bets on mergers and acquisitions: IBM buying Juniper Networks was one, and the firm also predicted Canon would buy its way further into the printing services business. But Cisco and EMC will not merge, IDC's crystal ball said.

Other predictions included a dramatic expansion of cloud-based services, IT growth driven by emerging markets, and a 15 percent U.S. penetration of smart meters and a 25 percent penetration of electronic health records.

Acer Says Windows 7 Good for Sales

TOKYO - Taiwan's Acer Inc, the world's No.2 PC maker, said Microsoft Corp's Windows 7 operating system launch last month has been positive for year-end PC sales, though the gains were within expectations.

Acer's CEO said it was keeping its quarterly revenue outlook and maintaining a 15 percent sales growth target for next year.

The market leader in low-cost netbooks, or stripped-down laptop PCs geared for Web surfing, has said it expected sales in October-December to stay flat from the previous quarter and rise 25 percent from the previous year.

"When we saw the features of Windows 7, we already knew that it would be good for demand," Gianfranco Lanci told reporters on Thursday. "We have no plans to revise."

No.3 PC maker Dell Inc said it saw a spike in sales thanks to the Windows 7 launch. Hewlett-Packard, the world's No.1 PC maker and largest supplier of technology products, raised its annual outlook as growth in China helped its quarterly sales.

Acer, which expects 50 percent growth in the global netbook market to 42 million units in 2010, reported a quarterly net profit of $108 million last month, up 14 percent from a year earlier.

It now hopes to become the No.3 PC maker in both Japan and in China by 2011, up from about what it sees as the fifth or sixth place in both markets.

Apple Asks Judge for Permanent Psystar Injunction

Apple on Tuesday asked a California district judge to permanently prevent Psystar from infringing on its copyrights.

"Unless Psystar is permanently enjoined, it will not stop its unlawful conduct – conduct that is causing irreparable harm to Apple's business, brand, and goodwill," Apple said in a filing.

Apple and Psystar have been locked in a legal battle since July 2008, when Apple sued Psystar for eight claims of copyright infringement, breach of contract, trademark and trade infringement, and unfair competition. Psystar was selling a computer that uses an unauthorized, modified version of Apple's OS X, Apple said.

Psystar filed a countersuit the following month, which argued that Apple's legal and technical maneuvers were preventing a market for third-party Mac clones.

Earlier this month, Apple won a motion for summary judgment against Psystar. Judge William Alsup ruled that Psystar had violated Apple's rights to reproduce OS X, distribute it, and to create derivative works.

Apple now wants Psystar banned from: directly or indirectly infringing on its copyrights for Mac OS X; and circumventing any of Apple's technological protection measures in Mac OS X, including those that can generate Apple's decryption key.

Psystar's infringement is "undisputed and overwhelming," Apple said.

Apple has requested damages, but said that "money damages alone could never compensate for the irreparable injury that Apple has suffered."

"A failure to enjoin Psystar from continuing its unlawful activities would constitute an involuntary license of Apple's immensely valuable intellectual property and encourage others to follow Psystar's pattern of deliberate disregard of well-established law," Apple said. "Accordingly, this Court should grant a permanent injunction of a scope that will unequivocally end Psystar's unlawful conduct."

In order to be eligible for an injunction under the Copyright Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a company must demonstrate irreparable harm, that money damages are inadequate, and that the public would not be harmed by the injunction – all things, Apple said, that it can prove.

Psystar has been rather quiet since August, when it posted a blog post discussing plans for depositions with high-ranking Apple officials.

The two sides are scheduled to meet again in court on December 14.

Apple Wins Big Against Psystar

Apple won a motion for summary judgment in its suit against Psystar Corp., which covered copyright infringement. A number of other claims, such as breach of contract, remain for trial.

The ruling, filed in the Northern District Court of California on Friday, was posted by Groklaw on Saturday.

Judge William Alsup found for Apple on every count that he ruled upon, with the primary focus on copyright. Here, Judge Alsup ruled that Psystar had violated Apple's rights to reproduce OS X, distribute it, and to create derivative works.

Apple originally filed suit in July 2008, after Psystar had begun shipping its own PCs, dubbed "Open Computers," with a copy of Apple's Mac OS X upon them. After a judge tossed out Psystar's antitrust accusations, Judge Alsup allowed Psystar to alter its suit to address alleged copyright misuse by Apple. Meanwhile, Psystar continued to manufacture Mac clones, and even the software tool Psystar used.

The judge noted that Psystar did not defend its right to modify the OS X for limited purposes, as it has a right to do. The judge also ruled out a "fair use" defense.

Psystar also argued that it had the right to sell OS X as part of the first-sale doctrine. The judge ruled that any copies were not made with the permission of Apple. In any case, the copies installed on the Open Computers, in some cases, did not even match up with the "backup copies" sold together with the computers, the judge wrote.

"There, [Apple expert John] Kelly stated that he had examined nine Psystar computers that had Mac OS X installed on the hard drive," the judge wrote. "He further stated that the Mac OS X software for five of those computers was not the same as the software found on the Mac OS X DVDs shipped with the computers. Instead, those computers had a different version of Mac OS X actually installed on hard drive than was found on the accompanying Mac OS X DVD. According to Table 2 in Kelly's declaration, three of the other nine computers did not include a Mac OS X DVD at all."

The judge ruled that the bootloader added to the Open Computers would render the computers unusable if they were removed. "The inclusion of the copyrighted Mac OS X with the above-described additions and modifications makes Psystar's product an infringing, derivative work," Judge Alsup wrote.

The judge also found for Apple on the issues of contributory infringement, copyright misuse, and violation of the DMCA. In the latter case, the judge concluded that an unauthorized copy of the OS X software was written to RAM. Psystar also circumvented Apple's copy protection and other technological measures in "modifying" OS X for its own purposes, the judge said.

Judge Alsup also noted that Apple has not formally asked for an injunction against the sale of Psystar's products, and declined to rule. The judge also noted that Apple had not raised claims on breach of contract, induced breach of contract, trademark dilution, and infringement, and other breaches of California law. Those claims can proceed to trial, the judge said.

A hearing to determine what sort of relief Apple can ask for will be held on Dec. 14.
