Uh oh, looks like that bridge won't have long on the market before it runs right into Komodo, Terramar and Sepang! :D (and Trinity). Krishna and Witchita should be a fair bit ahead of it.Quote:

With risk production set to begin in 2H 2012, GLOBALFOUNDRIES is well on its way to delivering 22/20nm technology to customers for product introduction in 2013. The 20nm technology offerings will come in two varieties: a High Performance (HP) technology designed for wired applications such as servers and media processors, and a 20nm Super Low Power (SLP) technology designed for power-sensitive mobile applications. GLOBALFOUNDRIES also will have access to a 22nm Super High Performance (SHP) technology designed for devices requiring the utmost in performance. The 22/20nm technologies are planned to be a full node shrink from 32/28nm, and will utilize next-generation HKMG technology and strain engineering to enable the area and die cost scaling the industry has come to expect with each technology generation. Test chip shuttles for customers will begin running in Fab 1 in 2H2011.

No prototypes of 20nm till the end of 2012? This is like a year and a half ahead! Aren't they supposed to design things in advance? :eek:
And why 20nm and not 22nm? Are they going to bother releasing 28nm CPUs? I don't think this makes much sense (pretty close to 32nm)... Not a very good roadmap at all...
I'm guessing it's incomplete.

As it stands today, Intel is roughly 18 months ahead of IBM, Global Foundries, TSMC and Samsung on their process technology. Intel began shipping 32nm parts in late 2009, while AMD started shipping 32nm parts from Global Foundries in April, 2011.
The most likely scenario for 22nm is that Intel begins shipping at the end of 2011 or early 2012 and the foundries follow with 20nm products in 2013. Intel will have a ~18 month window with a twofold manufacturing edge over their competitors.
Im really skeptical of that AMD/GF roadmap. Well see.

I see no one paid attention to what the graph ACTUALLY said lol :p:Quote:

EDIT: Seems there's a full-on preview of Gigabyte's GA-990FX-UD7 over at GDM.or.jp o_0 Even tossed in some SB950 SATA6 benchmarks with CDM against an ASRock 890FX Deluxe4, which sadly the SB950 didn't do very well on the big writes, though it was only the 50MB transfer test.

I'm very pleased GB went with the black approach like with their new Intel board (most of, at least).
No need to be, GF has already shown a 20nm test wafer.Quote:

Llano is APU, too, though.Quote:

Nope, we don't have any clue yet.
Except that it does officially support 1833MHz memory and works fine with DIMMs clocked at least to 2130MHz+ ;)Quote:

That would be outrageous from a PR point of view, though. And GloFo isn't that bad.
That will never happen.Quote:

Intel opned their fabs to other companies in using The X86 cores as a base for anything it's not really opened at all.Quote:

Pretty sure that, like the E350, any desktop motherboards are simply being made to take advantage of what is already available. Most of us wouldn't considering the Llano a desktop chip, especially considering it's still just Bobcat based :) What I meant by "desktop" is Bulldozer, but more specifically, AM3+ variants. I haven't looked at one in awhile, but I don't recall any server chips being mentioned in the same roadmap slides as the consumer desktop and mobile ones. So as the product lines become broader with available models, they'll likely start to give them their own *shrug*Quote:

While we're on the topic though... Was over at Sapphire's site looking to see if they had any 990-based motherboards available as well. While they didn't, I had hoped over there first to check out the BIOS availability for this E350 board I have. When going through the product selection process I noticed something strange available: "Socket FM1" o_0 Alas, there were no models available to pick, nor a page in the product's section, but it's something :D
Llano isn't bobcat based afaik.
Correct, Liano more so a Phenom based APU with better turbo and far better GPU.Quote:

It's K10.5+. There should be improvements in performance here and there. Also Llano got only 1 memory controller, different to K10.5 wich got DDR2/DDR3 with his adv/dsadv.
It has been known to be based on Stars cores since well before bobcat was known. ;)Quote:
