Intel, AMD Spar Over Virtualization

Intel and AMD once again are angling for leadership in virtualization, technology that increases a computer’s efficiency by letting it run multiple operating systems simultaneously. Intel is expected to declare this week that its Virtualization Technology is mature enough for testing and about three months away from prime time. But AMD, whose rival “Pacifica” technology won’t debut in processors until midway through this year, is trying to set its own technology as a standard for virtualization of computer communications, an element not present in Intel’s VT.
