During scheduled for February next year, the Conference ISSCC 2010 (International Solid-State Circuit Conference) AMD plans to launch new processors x64, which arise in the 32-nanometer manufacturing process for silicon waflach type SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator). The specific function of these systems will be operating mode (or rather idle mode), so. Zero-Power Gated, in which the unused cores are virtually cut off from power. Such a feature was also taken by Intel's next-generation Nehalem processors, and if the individual cores Core i5/i7 go into deep sleep mode (C3 or C6), then they are using special transistor switching completely cut off from the supply voltage and charge according to Intel "almost zero watts.

AMD and a Swiss company software maker Pixelux set up a draft Open Physics. Its aim is to expand the current physics opensource engine Bullet Physics of OpenCL programming interface. Competitive engine supports Nvidia PhysX GPU accelerated 3D games physical effects only through the framework CUDA on GeForce cards. Physics is open while the work in accordance with OpenCL processors and graphics systems all producers, both on computers and consoles.

Already for years it is possible to use a greater number of cards, a relatively graphics processing unit (GPU) to improve the efficiency of the operation of three-dimensional - with the proviso that they must be integrated from the same manufacturer. Cooperation of several GPU is possible both in structures AMD (Crossfire) or nVidia (SLI). A few years ago, an Israeli company LucidLogix, which is also participating Intel Capital, announced the introduction of systems of Hydra, which have the possibility of compiling with each GPU to any manufacturers. At designated for the new Intel Core i5-700 and Core i7-800 motherboard MSI Big Bang, the P55 chipset and LGA1156 stand, the system has been applied Hydra 200; board should find for sale on 29 October.
