Aiming to deflate archrival Intel, Advanced Micro Devices this week will show off its dual-core chips, which will start to trickle out toward the middle of next year.

AMD on Tuesday will show off a Hewlett-Packard ProLiant server with four dual-core Opteron chips at a facility in Austen, Texas, bringing the functional number of chips in four-processor servers to eight. “When you load Microsoft (Server 2003), it shows up as eight processors,” said Marty Seyer, vice president and general manager of the microprocessor business unit at AMD. The chip “taped out”–semiconductor shop talk meaning that the design was completed–in June, and AMD recently produced the samples that will be displayed in Austin, Seyer added.
