As the United States beat iron man: resentment of AMD and Intel-AMD, Intel, CPU-IT information
This weekend, you must have been introduced through various channels to diffuse power hero charm.
United States captain 3: Heroes of enemies, battered hearts drama as brothers against each other, so the audience correcting a little heart fibrillation fibrillation. But in Silicon Valley that you sing our debut stage, there are vigorous imbroglio dramas of love and hate.
Intel and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), this early start helping each other grow up with good friends, but decorum, too much sky. This love kills dog blood entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley, and has also been troubled for more than 40 years.
The same entrepreneurial genes
That created the entire story that is from the beginning of the Fairchild Semiconductor company in Silicon Valley, for a start.
Father of IC, Noyce left Fairchild Semiconductor company, by virtue of its reputation in the tech world, very successfully get venture capital, and soon the same as "Traitorous Eight" Moore set up the Intel.
Fairchild was born in jieli·sangdesi, is not so lucky. In the "Traitorous Eight" after the departure of Fairchild in the restructuring of the company, he was out of the game. Sales origin Sanders carries confidence in the prospects of the semiconductor industry, also venture to the road of no return.
Sanders without a reputation no novice in technology funds, with cavity blood started stumbling on the road, can't scrape together even registered capital.
"Always Noyes said it took only 5 minutes to raise $ 5 million, and I only spent 5 million minutes to raise $ 50,000. This is cruel, but I persevere. ”
Neuss in the end with personal credit for his business plans as collateral, this just makes the desperate Sanders climbed up the ship to start a business, AMD was established in 1969. AMD is mainly for the computer, communications and consumer electronics industries designs and manufactures innovative microprocessors, Flash memory and low-power processor solutions for the company.
Established in 1968, Intel went public in 1971, and lockstep AMD is listing in 1972.
Alongside business partner
When you are surrounded by giants such as IBM, Motorola, Intel, brother of the well-loved is AMD's brother. Because in the face of these giants, Intel also is a new born baby.
Before the 80 's of the last century, IBM, DEC computer company's own power production processors, and is representative of the industry's highest level of technology. Even Intel this technology-oriented start-up companies, 80 processors than IBM products in the 70 's, therefore I can only chew on those big companies won't, relatively low-end market cake. Not to mention the AMD, targeted early establishment: market-oriented, determined to learn and mimic Intel, strive for high quality and low price products, a "second suppliers."
In 1981, the IBM PC market later, launching products in order to seize the market, do not bother to design processors ever decides to two core--the PC operating system and microprocessor outsourcing strategies.
To prevent a single, IBM procurement principles should have two or more companies to participate in the bidding. Therefore, Intel invited climate AMD had not been set, active X86 series processor technology, AMD become a reserve of their suppliers. That is why the 80826 processor, both Intel and AMD both Logo.
After successful as IBM's leading processor vendors, with the popularity of the personal computer, through IBM-PC this East, Intel's fame skyrocketed, smooth listed among the Fortune 500, and Fortune magazine named this "70 commercial miracles." Intel's processors and Microsoft's operating systems WinTel era has officially begun.
Former Intel CEO Andy Grove and Bill Gates
This change in the AMD Intel Yi erzi. Then Intel and AMD displacement operations, a technical innovation, a fill in the low end of the market, after the parties to resolve patent issues in coordination with the Sanders, build harmonious strategic cooperative relations.
Friendship boats touched the interests of reef
BR complete vision of Intel, found in a chance,AMD began producing their own chip. It would be disastrous, Intel began to re-examine this has been ignored by himself underestimated the "imitator".
With Japan Korea's rise in high-tech industries, intensify market competition, Intel's crisis awareness. In 1985, Intel unilaterally tear up an 80386 processor and AMD on cooperation production contracts.
Sudden launch AMD-footed, can seek legal help. However, spend a lot of time, effort, after the human and financial resources, which lasted three years, AMD won the lawsuit , but in rapid areas of Internet technology, eventually missed development opportunities.
In that time, AMD be reduced to a generic factory and flourishing Intel Pentium MMX series was developed in 1993, than ordinary CPU running the program and the ability to handle multimedia instruction improves 60%, creating a new era of CPU.
Just when Intel swordsman, suddenly take exit Socket7, decided to enter the Slot1. Socket7 Intel designed for Pentium MMX CPU design slot Slot1 CPU interface is developed to replace the Socket7. Is this a risky move, Socket7 slots of the main thing was that because of the open village brought about by problems.
On the surface it is cornered AMD to seize a golden opportunity. Intel wants to be nice, but for most motherboard manufacturers suddenly changing the CPU interface is very troublesome thing. AMD uses a newly developed Super7 (Socket7 upgrade) 100MHz FSB processors based on scoop in front of the new chip group Intel Slot1 entered the market, the main price/performance advantages. Big bang, after 1999, series 1GHz CPU, Athlon Thunderbird and Duron, start and Intel front.
Intel look at AMD are wrong, and quickly optimize the Pentium 3, introduction of the longest in the history of processor-Pentium 4. The head of "price/performance King" generation also launched the Athlon Classic-Barton. Only 800 Barton overclocked to 3200+ (clock speed 2.2G), fully and offer comparable Pentium 4 2000, obsessed with that so many gamers, setting off a torrent of competing to purchase.
In the two years 2004 to 2006, AMD reached the counter hit its peak. With the launch of 64-bit processors, surpassed Intel in performance. Go for more than 30 years following the road to imitate, at long last, AMD stood in front of Intel's.
Until June 2005, Intel Core 2 Duo processor is finally born, 40% three times times higher performance while reducing power consumption, comprehensive rolling Athlon series, generation Athlon prices thousands of the King. Intel Core I-series to be released in 2010, high, medium and low end in one fell swoop.
Intel recapture market initiative and without mercy, restoring absolute technological advantage. After that, AMD never to reopen 06 peak, big play after big falls, completely into the downturn.
This resentment, representing virtually the entire history of the CPU. Because this life between Intel and AMD, competition more than the rival show, today's PC computers.
Intel is a great company, from the creation of failures at the beginning of fighting, breaking the monopoly of Intel AMD did not.
像美队暴打钢铁侠：AMD与英特尔的恩怨情仇 - AMD,英特尔,CPU - IT资讯
这个双休日，你一定已经通过各种渠道领略到了漫威式英雄的魅力。
《美国队长3：英雄反目》，兄弟反目成仇的虐心戏码，把观众的小心脏纠得一颤一颤的。而在硅谷那个你方唱罢我方登场的舞台，也不乏轰轰烈烈的爱恨纠葛戏码。
英特尔和AMD（超微半导体公司），这对创业初期互帮互助一起成长的好基友，最后却撕破脸，闹得天崩地裂。这出相爱相杀的狗血硅谷创业大戏，也已经纠缠了40多年。
相同的创业基因
故事的开头还要从那个创造了整个硅谷的仙童半导体公司说起。
集成电路之父诺伊斯离开仙童半导体公司后，凭借其在科技界的声望，很顺利拿到风险投资，不久就和同为“八叛逆”的摩尔成立了英特尔。
同为仙童出身的杰里·桑德斯，就没那么幸运了。在“八叛逆”离开后，仙童公司的重组行动里，他被淘汰出局。销售出身的桑德斯怀揣着对半导体行业美好前景的信心，也踏上了创业的不归路。
桑德斯这个一无声望二无技术三无资金的门外汉，凭一腔热血在创业路上跌跌撞撞，连注册资金都凑不齐。
“诺伊斯总是说英特尔只花了5分钟就筹集了500万美元，而我花了500万分钟只筹集了5万美元。这简直是残忍，但我坚持不懈。”
最后还是诺伊斯用个人信誉为他的商业计划书做担保，这才让走投无路的桑德斯爬上了创业这条船，在1969年成立了AMD。AMD是一家主要为计算机、通信和消费电子行业设计和制造各种创新的微处理器、闪存和低功率处理器解决方案的公司。
1968年成立的英特尔在1971年上市，而亦步亦趋的AMD也在1972年跟着上市。
并肩作战的创业好伙伴
在周围都是IBM、摩托罗拉等巨头时，英特尔这个哥哥还是很照顾AMD弟弟的。因为面对这些巨人，英特尔自己也都是一个刚出生不久的婴儿。
上世纪80年代以前，IBM、DEC这些计算机公司自己都有余力生产处理器，而且技术都是能代表行业最高水平。即使是英特尔这种以技术为导向的创业公司，80年代的处理器都比不上IBM在70年代的产品，因此仍只能啃那些大公司看不上的，相对低端的市场蛋糕。更不用说AMD了，创立初期就定位明确：以市场为导向，立志学习和模仿英特尔，争取凭质优价廉的产品，成为“第二供应商”。
1981年，IBM这个PC市场的后来者，为了快速推出产品抢占市场，也懒得设计处理器，破天荒决定对PC的两大核心——操作系统和微处理器采取外包策略。
为防止一家独大，IBM的采购原则是必须有两个以上的公司参加竞标。所以，英特尔邀请了还未成气候的AMD，主动开放X86系列处理器技术，让AMD成为自己的后备供应商。这也就是为什么在80826处理器上，会同时出现英特尔和AMD两家的Logo。
成功成为IBM的最大处理器供应商后，随着个人电脑的流行，借着IBM-PC这股东风，英特尔一下子扶摇直上名扬四海，顺利跻身财富500强之列，并被《财富》杂志将此评为“七十大商业奇迹”之一。英特尔的处理器和微软的操作系统的WinTel时代正式开始。
英特尔前CEO安迪·格鲁夫和比尔·盖茨
这场变革里，AMD跟着英特尔也鸡犬升天。随后英特尔和AMD采取错位经营，一个技术创新，一个填补低端市场，双方在桑德斯的协调下解决专利问题后，建立起其乐融融的战略合作关系。
友谊小船触到利益的礁石
完成宏图霸业的英特尔，在一次偶然中发现，AMD居然开始生产自家的芯片了。这可不得了，英特尔开始重新审视这个一直被自己低估忽视的“模仿者”。
随着日本韩国在高新产业的崛起，市场竞争加剧，英特尔的危机意识觉醒。1985年，英特尔单方面撕毁和AMD关于合作生产80386处理器的合约。
突然的发难让AMD措手不及，只能寻求法律的帮助。然而，在耗费了大量的时间、精力、人力和财力后，历时三年，AMD才打赢了官司，但在一日千里的互联网科技领域，终究是错过了发展的大好良机。
在这段时间里，AMD只能沦为一家仿制工厂，而如日中天的英特尔在1993年开发了奔腾MMX系列，比普通CPU在运行程序和处理多媒体指令的能力提高了60%，开创了CPU的新纪元。
正当英特尔笑傲江湖时，却突然做出退出Socket7，进军Slot1市场的决定。Socket7是英特尔专为奔腾MMX系列CPU设计的插槽，Slot1是为取代Socket7而开发的CPU接口。之所以走这一步险棋，主要原因还是由于开放的Socket7插槽所带来的山寨问题。
表面上被逼得走投无路的AMD抓住了着千载难逢的时机。英特尔想的很美好，但对于大部分主板厂商来说突然地改变CPU接口，是很麻烦的事。AMD利用新开发的在Super7（Socket7的升级）基础上的100MHz外频处理器，抢在英特尔Slot1的新芯片组前进入市场，主打性价比优势。一鼓作气，在1999年之后，推出1GHz的CPU、速龙系列的雷鸟和毒龙，开始和英特尔正面干。
英特尔看AMD的眼神都不对了，赶紧优化奔腾3，推出史上最长寿的处理器——奔腾4。头顶“性价比之王”的速龙也推出一代经典——巴顿。只有800元的巴顿超频到3200+（主频2.2G）后，完全可与报价2000元的奔腾4相媲美，这让无数游戏玩家痴迷不已，掀起了争相采购的狂潮。
2004年到2006年这两年里，AMD达到了逆袭的巅峰。随着64位处理器的面世，在性能上也超越了英特尔。走了长达30多年的跟随模仿之路，终于，AMD站到了英特尔的前面。
直到2005年6月，英特尔的酷睿2双核处理器终于出生了，提高三倍性能的同时降低40%的功耗，全面碾压速龙系列，一代王者速龙价格暴跌千元。英特尔的酷睿i系列在2010年发布，高、中、低端一网打尽。
毫不留情的英特尔一举夺回市场的主动权，重新树立绝对技术优势。在此之后，AMD再也没能重回06年的巅峰，大起之后的大落，彻底进入低迷期。
这场恩怨情仇，几乎代表了整个CPU的发展史。正是由于英特尔和AMD之间这生命不息，竞争不止的对手戏，才有了现如今的PC电脑。
英特尔是一家伟大的公司，从创立之初就屡败屡战，打破英特尔垄断的AMD又何尝不是。
