AMD Quad Core + Onboard Physics

At this year’s Computex in Taiwan, AMD is sharing its vision on the future of PC gaming, where they want to offer gamers the power of workstation computers, with dual CPU support. Now they revealed that there might even be some sort of on board physics, suggesting a tough competition against Ageia PhysX and ATi with its recent announcement of crossfire physics. AMD vice president Henri Richard said

“My definition [of the technology] actually is 4×4x4×4x4. Four processors, 4 GPUs, fed by 4 [GB] of memory, four hard drives and four times the fun.”

And probably 4x the price of anything else on the market. It seems a disparate attempt from AMD to try and stay in the game with Intel’s Core 2 and Core 2 Extreme. Recent tests show that even the modest Intel chips beat AMD’s high end Athlon 64 FX series.
