“Bean knowledge” originating from Japanese is a kind of knowledge that is rare in life, a kind of alternative knowledge. It’s optional, as long as you know it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t.
Although in retrospect, this x86 processor duo at the end of the twentieth century seems a bit boring, and even the whole process looks more and more funny, but it also fully shows, even age if the x86 instruction set is rotten and nothing There is no reason to find that the huge loads in the personal computer market can still support the most advanced process technology and sophisticated x86 processor micro-architecture. Of course, the premise is that you have to get that book to survive in the market beforehand.

AMD launched the Athlon processor with a K7 core (0.25 µm process) on June 23, 1999. It had a 600MHz clock speed that surpassed Intel’s Pentium III from the start, giving AMD a last leg up on Intel, and also allows 1GHz, the ” hero sees The goal of “the same” has officially surfaced. The irony is that the “RISC gods” who enjoy the advantages of the instruction set architecture can logically watch the show from the sidelines this time, watching the “uncultured” x86 processor duo desperately run on.
In this clock war, Intel and AMD are still losing. Even if there is no actual product that can be launched, it is always possible to make a “technical concept demonstration”, right? Because of this, the x86 duo staged a series of mutual barrel plays in the late 20th century. The two sides went back and forth, which can be said to be “you punch me, I kick you, you bite me, I stab you The fierce conflict of “one knife”, but it consumers still fail to see the actual marketing product for a long time.
-
October 13, 1998: AMD released 0.25 µm process Athlon samples at the Autumn Microprocessor Forum, clocked at 500MHz.
-
February 23, 1999: Intel announced the 0.25 µm Pentium III process “by means of super cooling”, with a clock speed of 1002MHz.
-
April 29, 1999: AMD also produced a display with a clock frequency of 1GHz in the same way, and the manufacturing process was still 0.25 µm.
-
October 25, 1999: Intel Pentium III officially entered the 0.18 µm process, with a maximum clock speed of 733MHz.
-
November 29, 1999: Switched to an AMD Athlon and entered the 0.18 µm process, with a maximum clock speed of 750MHz.
-
December 12, 1999: Intel Pentium III reaches 800MHz.
-
January 6, 2000: AMD made continued efforts to demonstrate 1GHz technology with a 0.18 µm process, and released an 800MHz Athlon on the same day.
-
February 7, 2000: With the completion and opening of AMD’s new fab30 in Germany, AMD also showed a 1100MHz sample with a 0.18 µm process and copper wires.
-
February 11, 2000: AMD Athlon reaches 850MHz.
-
February 20, 2000: Intel released a sample Pentium 4 1.5GHz 0.18 µm process at the spring IDF (Intel Developer Forum).
-
March 6, 2000: AMD officially announced and shipped the 1GHz Athlon. (God knows how much)
-
March 8, 2000: Intel officially released the 1GHz Pentium III, but claimed it was the winner of the clock war because “shipping started a week ago.” (Who knows when exactly you will ship)
Seeing this, everyone Keke probably had an expression of looking at the rotten apple on his face, imagining the “big occasion” of this boring competition more than 20 years ago.
Here are some additional “milestones” for 2GHz and beyond:
-
August 13, 2001: Intel demonstrated a 2GHz 0.18 µm Pentium 4 process at Siggraph, a major event in the computer graphics industry.
-
August 27, 2001: Intel officially released the 2GHz Pentium 4, and it took two weeks to catch on.
-
August 28, 2001: Just one day away, the “super-cooled” 3.5GHz 0.13 µm Pentium 4 process was shown at the autumn IDF.
-
February 26, 2002: Intel demonstrated a 4GHz 0.13 µm Pentium 4 process at the spring IDF.
-
August 21, 2002: AMD released the 2GHz Athlon-XP.
-
November 14, 2002: The 0.13 µm Intel Pentium 4 process reaches 3GHz.
After that, there was nothing to talk about, because for the next four years, AMD K8 crushed Intel Pentium 4. Oh yes, on April 10, 2006, AMD Opteron reached 3GHz.
So, when did the “RISC gods” come to 1GHz?
-
Alpha: 2001. (21264C, 0.18 µm process)
-
MIPS: 2003. (R16000, 0.11 µm process)
-
PA-RISC: 2003. (PA-8800, 0.13 µm process, dual core)
-
power: 2001. (Power4, 0.18 µm process, dual core)
-
SPARC: 2001. (UltraSPARC III Cu, 0.13 µm process, copper conductors)
I hope the above “bean knowledge” can make Keke feel that “life is enriched”, and I wish you all a happy Keke day.
