Advanced Micro Devices' chief executive said that his company was planning to commercially release processors with new micro-architecture in 2008 after making pilot production in 2007. The introduction of the new micro-architecture may significantly boost performance of the company's microprocessors, which are to face increased pressure from competing solutions by Intel Corp."We're going to introduce a really new architecture that will work well with our partners for the best performance. We're going to start sampling it at the end of 2007 and roll it out in 2008," said Hector Ruiz, chief executive of AMD, in an interview with BusinessWeek.Earlier it was projected that in 2007 the Sunnyvale, California-based chipmaker will introduce instruction extensions to the AMD64 micro-architecture and will bring-in HyperTransport technology in 2008. But recently the company said in a statement that AMD's "next-generation architecture for servers, workstations and desktops" is planned to debut in mid-2007, and is expected to offer better platform performance-per-watt ratio as well as enterprise application performance.
