AMD,

Please do the following:

1. Starting with the K8L series, include on-chip randomness generator based off of atomic decay.
2. Jack up the number of FPUs and make them wider or put them on a separate, user-upgradeable chip.
3. I don’t want this “4×4″ crap you’re pushing. I want a native Quad-core design by the next FX release.
4. Up the bus speeds! There’s no work for the shiny processor if the data can’t get to it.
5. Copy Intel. Copy their Instruction sets and implement them in all your processors. Also, make some of your own that will help with gaming, video editing, protein folding, and cryptography.
6. Have chips clock themselves based off of their temperature and workload unless (trusted) software requests to modify it.
7. Up the caches. Can’t go wrong with that.
