The official Bulldozer Status

[informal]

I think that Komodo is not an APU,but a high-end CPU refresh based on BDver2 (or BD++) .

BTW,I've just watched the Analyst Day Demo material here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uy5o2Cej6Y&feature=sub

As can be seen in BD demo part,the 30% utilization while running HD video is done on purpose by an application called CPU consumer.AMD dialed the CPU utilization target in the application at 30%.
Also in the same video one can see Llano churning thru both latest DX11 game and HD video playback in parallel,while at the same time showing ~50% CPU utilization across 4 cores. This APU will crush SB iGPU with ease,it's not even funny .

I like the laptop on the desk from MSI, that means the OEM are much further with there designs then I expected. Launch dates and availability will be very close.

I believe that the Komodo will be an APU.




“Komodo”
Market: Server and Performance Desktops
What is it? “Komodo” is AMD’s next generation CPU and is primarily intended for servers and high-performance desktops. “Komodo” will feature next-generation “Bulldozer” CPU cores and, in desktop PC platforms, is designed to couple with DirectX® 11 GPUs to provide enthusiast-level system performance. Planned for introduction: 2012

Looks like that Zambezi will be the last dekstop AMD CPU without a GPU. I mean that the Zambezi will be the last AMD desktop CPU.

I disagree with you, see the difference. ""Trinity" will feature" and ""Komodo" is designed to couple with".

Funny you actually bolded the sockets, which are different.

Ufff...it's too late.... C2012... G2012... look almost identical for me now.

You're right but if you take a look at the above roadmap then you can't see this difference between "Komodo" and "Trinity".

But the roadmap really does not say in direction or other. You can assume based on it. But the codename description says it straight. Maybe JF could get hold on someone who would clear it up, if that is applicable.

think of the introduction year and the socket names (both 2012)

socket C32 is non mcm and G34 is mcm, no big difference too

i believe that C socket will be smaller than G socket despite being called 2012
