AMD to start Bulldozer AM3+ production by March 2011, launch in April 2011

[Apokalipse]

Maybe "Phenom FX" is what they're calling all of their Zambezi chips?
kind of like Athlon -> Athlon XP -> Athlon 64

[Mechanical Man]

It is.
Then again there are conflicting sources about which one of them is Southern and Northern.

No, there was just mixups as AMD changed codenames around before launch. 6k was SI, but it is NI. Clear?

Actually, they were going to have a 32nm and a 28nm node. Then they dropped 32nm.

32nm and 28nm were never coming at the same time, 32 was planned to come in 2010, 28nm (atleast in all roadmaps i have seen) was planned to 2011.

hence the conflicting data.

They cancelled 32nm a long time ago to try and get 28nm working for late 2010, now it's pushed back to 2011

28nm by TSMC will be ready in 2011, which was my original point.

Looks great except for the color of the heatsinks.

Just finished listening to AMD's conference call and they said that BD is on track for a early summer release.
That translates to around 4-5 months away.

[zalbard]

Early summer? Wasn't it supposed to be April or so?

that is production i believe.

Early summer? Wasn't it supposed to be April or so?

All we have ever said was Q2.

He talks about BD @ 5:38 & (Orochi) 8:30
Sampling now in volume.
So, that is Orochi for desktop in early summer, and Orochi for server @ late summer.

All we have ever said was Q2.

So we can expect BD in June. Lame.

[JumpingJack]

All AMD ever said was Q2, that could be anywhere from beginning of april to late June. The leaked slides and rumor mill showed initial production in April, which I took to be likely an early June launch probably at computex which occurs around that time.

i wish amd would share more light on there hardware..

i like Engineering Sample review

Have you read my blog? There is tons of info in there.

[Kobaltrock]

Hmm, are you volunteering?
If that is the case, can you also look into if all the 9xx series of chipsets will support IOMMU ?
See, I am not asking much!

oh no... We need destop CPUs think at May latest

[JF-AMD]

Bulldozer schedules are exactly the same, no change. Q2 for client, Q3 for server.

[Alex-Ro]

Hope you wont dissapoint again all amd fans,otherwise i myself will make you a hole and put a cross with your name on it...R.I.P AMD

[stuffme]

Just what I guessed. In case of AMD no surprises, when talking about Q1-4, it is always at the very end of what ever quarter they say it will be.

[-Boris-]

Even the leaked (or faked) slides in the first post in this thread says initial production in april, which points at a launch in june. And depending on yields it might be a paperlaunch.
I too say early june, with my guess at the 2nd of june.

[bamtan2]

if you need more cores or ECC then bulldozer will please you, otherwise you best not wait around

sandy bridge clocks are unnatural

Hey fella after your: "Yea i can see a 1000$ dollar cpu competing with $300 SB.Amd just suck.Period.They are uncapable of making a capable chip,thats why we have to deal with prices at intel's mercy.So sad ...." comment we get it. We understand. You don't like AMD. Do you really need to keep trolling AMD posts at this point?

Sorry, my bad. Just went from what I remembered. Thanks for correction.

Ah, yes, that makes sense. Thanks!

Why latest?

AMD will not disappear overnight, no need to overreact... Bulldozer looks promising, so let's wait for it to be benched.
