A roadmap from AMD has made its appearance on the site DonanimHaber. It reveals the strategy for AMD to compete with Intel's Sandy Bridge. Bulldozer architecture, highly anticipated, will be formalized with the family of processors Zambezi.
The third quarter will see the arrival of the first four models. AMD will release four more in the last quarter of this year. Each quarter, it will offer versions with 8, 6 and 4 cores, 8 MB of integrated L3 cache. The operating frequencies are unknown. AMD has confirmed the delay of its architecture Bulldozer which was originally scheduled for April 2011 that was postponed in the summer of 2011 to be postponed last September (see "AMD confirms delays Bulldozer").
On that date, the manufacturer should put four processors on the market, the FX-8150, FX-8100, FX and FX-6100-4100. The first digit of the nomenclature refers to the number of cores. They all have a TDP of 95 W with the exception of the first running at 125 W. AMD completes its offering in the fourth quarter with the FX-8170, FX 8120, FX 6120 and FX-4120.
They should be identical to the FX-8150, FX 8100, FX 6100 and FX-4100 respectively. The TDP and L3 caches are in every case. The new models should just stand out by higher operating frequencies. The Dozers are eagerly awaited because they are expected to allow AMD to catch up with Intel on field performance.
The latest rumors were nevertheless pessimistic and talked about stepping disappointing, which would explain the reports of the manufacturer. The Zambezi will be compatible with Socket AM3 + and AM3, but they bring a better power management and official support for DDR3-1866. The architecture will be engraved in 32nm and will mark the introduction of transistors using a metal gate and high-K insulating layer on AMD processors for servers and desktops.
