SEATTLE (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices has unveiled new high-end microprocessors designed to compete with Intel in the race for power. The founder Texas also announced Wednesday an aggressive pricing on the chips of the range Athlon 64 FX-70 to be sold in pairs between 599 and 999 dollars depending on clock speed, while the former flagship of the group, the FX-62, was marketed from 713 dollars. Computers with more than one processor are usually servers or workstations. They are used to manage network activity or business process tons of data, unlike the desktop PC. AMD believes that such machines will increasingly appeal to users looking for raw power and therefore the machines capable of running multiple applications, ranging from video games to burn a DVD, via download films. "This market is driving everything. This is one of the main reasons to buy. In terms of perspective, what is most important, "said Ian McNaughton, in charge of the range Athlon 64 FX, AMD. Intel, meanwhile, launched last month, for fans of power, its Core 2 Extreme chip, a processor with four cores, by integrating on the same support for two dual-core processors. Each heart simulates the operation of a processor, allowing the computer to run several programs at a time. Technology hearts was popularized by AMD but the Texan group should not go out quad-core chips for a year. Meanwhile, AMD offers only dual-core chips, has partnered with third-party manufacturers like Nvidia to allow use of its chips in pairs. "We try to make it accessible workstations to the general public," McNaughton said in an interview. This is a really a cheap way to have quad-core processors, or eight cores. "
