Meh, I'll wait for 22nm Ivy Bridge instead. Getting itchy already.

Bulldozer got pushed back...again...
Late July launch...

It this another DNF??

AMD originally wanted to launch Bulldozer at Computex but performance issues with its B0 and B1 stepping chips pushed back the launch. Now we're looking at a late July launch with B2 silicon, but performance today is a big unknown. Apparently the performance of B1 stepping silicon doesn't look too good.

AMD BullDozer delay is Strategic decision
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, June 6, 2011 - 7:46 PM N/A

Well that's what AMD says, and of course any decision could be labeled as strategic but the Bulldozer processors (Zambezi FX series) have been delayed alright. guru3D was able to confirm that it will take 60 to 90 days from this week before the new processors will see the light of day. Meanwhile there of course will be Llano.

Guido Lohmann, AMD PR Manager Northern Europe, "The very gratifying success of the C-and E-series APUs has led to the decision to go ahead first in the desktop area with an APU, and then to follow with the Bulldozer processors,” concluded the company's rep."

Before the word was out reports and indications from Asia suggested that AMD is problems with the performance of its Bulldozer architecture, the first chip revisions functioned at lower than expected frequencies hence they already are working and producing on a new B2 stepping.

Now this is just a rumor, but it was expected that Zambesi would be able to run 3.5 GHz, whereas the B0 and B1 revision halted at 2.5 GHz. The new B2 stepping should (hopefully) solve this.

Zambezi is targeting the high-end desktop space and come with an unlocked multiplier, support for AMD's Turbo Core 2.0 technology and an integrated dual-channel DDR3-1866MHz controller.

Highlights :
10 cores flagship?    (Rendering machine?)
Piledriver Architecture(Improved Bulldozer, most likely)
TurboCore 3.0 (Ultra dynamic clock speed?  )
FM2 (Hope it can support FM1 processors)
Hudson D4 FCH Southbridge (4xUSB3.0 + 8xSATA3.0)
Trinity APU. (Piledriver architecture)
Wichita APU (Quad Core low power APU )

USD269 = RM795


wow, interesting if this is true.

not sure when komodo apu will come out.
hopefully am3+ socket can last longer.

Same like 1090T when it first came out....less than RM1k

Dont forget that Intel SB can run on stock volt @ 4GHz-4.2GHz easily. That means Intel can come out faster model up to 3.6-3.8GHz.

AMD really has  fallen way bck.....
imagine if sandy bridge doesn't hav graphic units, just pure processing.

It’s all down to TSMC now

AMD has pulled that plug on Deccan, the low voltage APU that was scheduled to succeed the highly successful Brazos platform next year.

According to several sources, AMD was unable to reach a satisfactory agreement with Globalfoundries. The foundry was apparently unable to provide volume 28nm production by mid-2012, which would give Deccan a relatively short lifespan. Going back to TSMC, the makers of AMD’s 40nm APUs, would entail redesigning the chips, which was and a practical option this late in development.

The mess left AMD in a rather awkward situation and not it seems the outfit will have to come up with entirely new 28nm designs for TSMC. Some punters believe AMD simply won’t have time to design entirely new chips and it will have to resort to die shrinking Brazos generation chips. This would basically mean sticking with a derivative of the 8-year-old K8 architecture, which originally started out as a 130nm design. Next generation APUs, including Trinity and probably Deccan successor will use Bulldozer derived cores.

In case AMD chooses to redesign existing chips, it still might be able to introduce 28nm APUs in 2012. However, it would take it about 18 months to design a true replacement for cancelled Krishna and Wichita chips. This would give Intel ample time to catch up and seize much of the market with its 32nm Atoms.

according to latest benchmark on ivy bridge, it seems that it dint offer much improvement on CPU.
most of the improvement actually found in graphic.
