Initial information about the performance of AMD Bulldozer

The website Donamim Haber has published some slides taken from internal presentations from AMD, which emerge from the first performance considerations and the list of models of the new series of processors that the company is preparing to announce. Within the year, AMD should therefore announce new E-series processor, A-series and FX-series, respectively, for groups of users to entry level, mainstream and enthusiast.


Solutions E2-series will have a dual-core architecture combined with a graphics core with 160 stream processors. Moving on to the A-series CPU (Llano), these models will find dual-core and quad-core processors with integrated GPU with 160, 320 or 400 stream processors. Finally, the CPUs that are typically targeted at desktop systems such as those of the FX series, will be available architectures 4, 6 or 8 core but without integrated graphics core.

According to the published slides, the performance of 8-core CPU FX are comparable with those of rival Intel Core i7-2600K. This leads one to think that the price of these processors is comparable.
