AMD CPU Roadmap upto 2011

[WingZero]

On the occasion of the meeting today, AMD Analyst Day AMD also has an updated processor roadmap to the public. This represents the course of the desktop and mobile processors until the year 2011, so that even a series of new code names are involved.

It is striking that AMD processors with a roadmap to a maximum of four cores will offer. After the jump from 2 to 4 cores relatively quickly went from Arm, it seems, until the next nuclear armament - at least in the desktop segment, the six-Kerner Istanbul is still scheduled to come this decade - still a few years time, if you have to then not even a completely new concept has legs.

The roadmap is to show that the years 2009 and 2010 in the desktop segment of Deneb and Propus be dominated. Both are expected early next year will enter the market and how today’s Shanghai processor in the modern 45 nm process manufactured. While the quad-core CPU Deneb an enlarged to 6 MiB L3 cache possess, will also vierkernige Propus with only 2 MiB equipped - like AMD enthusiast desktop mainstream desktop delimit.

2011 will be dominated by the new Bulldozer architecture, which from the outset in 32-nm process will be made thereof. First appeared on the AMD roadmap now code-named Orochi, and on the Llano. Both are quad-core processors with DDR3 support. Orochi because the high-end CPU in AMD’s portfolio, will he also on an integrated solution graphics - unlike Llano - entirely renounce. The cache size which falls under with 8 instead of 4 MiB twice as high as in Llano.

In the mobile segment, by 2010 there will be two newcomers to K10-base type. Their code names are Caspian and Champlain. The former is a dual-core processor with DDR2 support and aims in 2009 to market-hunting go. With Champlain will be 2010 the first mobile AMD quad-core processor appear - still a 45-nm process. On this occasion, will also switch from DDR2 to DDR3 memory completed.
For 2011 is also in the mobile segment of the move to a new architecture in 32 nm process. Apparently it takes to do likewise in the desktop segment for use Llano CPU coming back, as already mentioned the owner of an integrated graphics solution.

For the ultra-mobile interestingly AMD plans for the coming year for the first time a separate CPU: Conesus, this hot and probably Intel’s Atom einheizen. It is interesting that the two Kerner, who also only 1 MiB cache circumcised at the start will go, while still in the 65 nm process will be manufactured.
Geneva is then named 2010 the successor Conesus’. Although this mini-CPU is still “only” have two cores, however, this is the cache expansion with 2 MiB twice as big and DDR3 support on board.
On bulldozers base will be 2011 Ontario another AMD CPU follow, the holder of an integrated graphics solution. Unlike Llano will be here, but only two instead of four cores to be. Also, the cache size is back to 1 MiB limited. The use of the 32 nm manufacturing technology and support DDR3 will be opposed again present.
