It's finally time to come: AMD bulldozers have been put into operation

After repeated demonstrations on the slide many times, AMD's new microprocessor architecture Bulldozer was finally ready to meet with you and the production schedule was finalized.

The desktop version of the first bulldozer architecture processor was code-named Zambezi, with up to eight cores (four modules), but only six cores (three modules) and four cores (two modules) were available for the launch. 8MB, 4MB L3 cache.

Sources tell us that the first engineering samples of the Zambezi River will be handed over to partners for testing in December this year. After one month, product certifications should be completed in February next year, and finally put into production in April, officially released. It may also be in the same period, that is, the second quarter of next year.

The bulldozer's first chip in the server area is codenamed "Valencia" and has six or eight cores. It will also be released around the middle of next year. There will also be 12-16 core "Intellas". Interlagos.

Orochi, which was codenamed "Omega," is the general design of the Zambezi and Valencia designs. This means that the bulldozer architecture will share many new features on the desktop and server, including: GlobalFoundries 32nm HKMG manufacturing process, Modular design, flexible floating point unit, HT 3.1 bus, Turbo Core 2.0 dynamic acceleration technology, dual channel DDR3-1866 memory. The Zambezi River will adopt the new Socket AM3+ package interface with the 900 series chipset and Radeon HD 6000 series graphics cards to form the new high-end platform “Scorpius”.
