It seems that we begin to know already the first details of new AMD microprocessors, which so far have called Zambezi or Bulldozer, because these are the microarchitecture and the processor code names throughout its development.
Today we already know the names and characteristics of the four early models will go on sale over the next few weeks. Will be sold under the amd fx-Seriesproduct family, traditionally its range of products-high-end for the household sector, and as expected his new more powerful models. The main features we speak of 8, 6 or 4 cores, 32 nanometers, DDR3 dual-channel (Dual Channel) and under the new socket AM3 +.
I leave you with the list of new models and the number of cores. Certain specs are still unknown as the frequency of clock or outside on the way to Turbo Core, data which surely will be confirmed once submitted:

All models are black edition, that is, it is unlocked so that the user can overclockearlos at will.
We had already spoken earlier and everything points to that eventually end up being so. AMD Bulldozer will be equal to the current Intel Core i7 'Sandy Bridge', and in fact some media point to be more powerful than the pointer model of Intel, the 2600K.
We are talking about a comparison between more pointer AMD with a high-end Intel, since the Sandy Bridge are after that. We already know that Intel is voracious in their range high-end, being the most clear example the latest 990 X.
In fact it seems that from that AMD has the most powerful of the market processor - assume that it will be the AMD FX-8130P - it will be short, and will be held by Intel. The new generation of Intel Core enthusiasts are expected in autumn under the code name of Sandy Bridge EP, and it seems that AMD will have to surrender to his feet, at least in terms of brute power.
One of the features that most are missing in AMD had stagnated in the 45-nanometer manufacturing process, while the competition - Intel - had already passed that stage and even her had improved. Intel introduced the 45 nm. in 2008 and he made the leap to the 32 just over a year ago, with the first Core i3.
It was inevitable that AMD evolutioned here sooner or later, and the AMD FX-Series will be the first to 32 nanometers. Just over a year of delay because Intel is usually the company that innovates and AMD which follows the path marked by one. User-level manufacturing process usually have a certain impact, but is generally given little importance and is not an aspect to be taken into account, at least for majority.
amd fx-Series will not be like the current Phenom II, with a top price around 250 euros. The new models will be a range still superior to the high-end of the 1100T and company.
We'll see how it manages AMD to compete against the 2600K, whose price is around 280 euros. They have to give adjustments which we hope will be beneficial for the consumer. Just as likely that many older models Phenom II, should be withdrawn as their current prices would go into dispute directly with the new models. If AMD maintains the Phenom II and raises the price of the new Bulldozer FX then Intel would offer more competitive figures. And we all know that traditionally it has not happened.
First of all I have to remind you that nothing of this is official, but it does have views be real because the data are repeated over and over again, unchanged. In recent years we have experienced this situation many times, and finally after the presentation the rumors were confirmed.
Two dates are shuffled on the release date . On the one hand said that in the summer, but after the incident from Intel with the theme of the P67 and the SATA began to say that the release will hasten. To when? Therefore nor is known with absolute certainty. My personal opinion is that it brought forward little or nothing, and on June or July will present them.
Bonus: following the catalogue of Bulldozer that we are riding will tell you that the picture accompanying this post is a Caterpillar D9 property of the army Israeli and so-called IDF Caterpillar D9. To see if Intel is encouraged and puts a funny name to some of its developments and so we learn something new.
