“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

No mention of cores.

“Sepang”
Market: Server
What is it: Server CPU with up to 10 next-generation “Bulldozer” CPU cores targeting 2-way highly energy efficient and cost optimized Socket C2012 platforms. Complete with three-channel DDR3 memory and integrated PCIe Gen3 I/O.
Planned for introduction: 2012

Sepang is a server variant of Orochi+.If Komodo is a desktop variation then it will be up to 10 cores with a socket change ,again.

[FlanK3r]

maybe Komodo will be in 10 cores variante too...

[Dresdenboy]

There is another slide from an AMD blog in November:

No IGP, but 6-10 cores.

[FlanK3r]

nice Komodo CPU, m looking forward at it

[Formula350]

Trinity looks to be AM3+ by the size, unless the FM1 is the same size, minus a few inner pins, but I was thinking it was between S754 and S939/AM3 size (not really paid close attention to Llano heh).



And an updated Roadmap (from Computex)

EDIT: OK, scratch that... looks like FM1 is basically AM3 - center pins! I thought my math was wrong a few weeks ago when I figured the FM1 to be something like 905pin, but that small amount of missing center pins does appear as though it could be the size of 35pins (roughly, just rounding AM3 to 940).

I got one more official (AMD) link about Komodo and number of cores .

AMD Public Roadmap Updates

AMD also announced several notable updates to its 2012 roadmaps including:

-- "Krishna" and "Wichita": Two and four-core 28nm APUs based on the
next-generation sub-one watt "Bobcat" CPU cores and a DirectX
11-capable GPU, designed for the tablet, notebook, HD netbook, and
desktop form-factors;
-- "Trinity": a 32nm APU based on AMD's next-generation "Bulldozer" CPU
cores and a DirectX 11-capable GPU, designed for mainstream and
high-performance desktops and notebooks;
-- "Komodo": a 32nm CPU featuring up to 10 AMD "Bulldozer" CPU cores
designed for high-performance and enthusiast desktops;
-- "Terramar" and "Sepang": Two new 32nm CPUs for the server market based
on AMD's "Bulldozer" CPU core. Targeted for the enterprise, mainstream
market "Terramar" will scale up to 20 cores while "Sepang" is designed
for the cost-optimized, energy efficient market and will scale up to

So...

Interlagos and Orochi are based on the same Bulldozer core. Or better: Bulldozer cores (desktop and server) are basically the same microarchitecture.

That seems to change a little more for Komodo (desktop) and Terramar (server) - BDv2

What is reasonable because almost everyone says BDv1 is server oriented.

Dude, c'mon now lol

Its quite simple.

Bulldozer=

BDv1=Orochi
Interlagos/valencia =server same chips different packaging 8 cores internally 16 mcm
Zambezi = desktop same chip, will be cut down to 4/6 cores on some models, 8 flagship
Am3+ and current server sockets

BDv2=Komodo
Sepang=Server BDv2 single die
Terramar=Server Bdv2 dual die (MCM)
For the time being i didnt seen strictly desktop komodo codename or its just "komodo".
Thing about this chips is they have pcie 3.0 integrated,also, sepang features 3 channel memory.Would be good thing for amd to move desktop to it.

For the people that dont know.
Both AMD and Intel (AMD more) use EXACTLY the same die as desktop product for the server product!The difference can be in microcode and packaging.

Don't you mean Interlagos/Valencia are the same, but Interlagos = MCM up to 16core (8 module) on Socket G34, and Valencia = up to 8core (4 module) on Socket C32?

I suspect desktop is basically Valencia, minus the segment for SMP (among other things I don't know about lol)

MCM variant is just two single ones on one packaging, chips are the same.And desktop chip is the same also.AMD produces one chip, and they go to both socket C and G server wise and for AM3+.Same will be probably with komodo,because thats how it always have been with amd.

I see what you mean now after re-reading it, sorry about that

[trueblue]

AMD corrected that slide since then.Now Komodo is listed as "6-10 improved Bulldozer cores". No DX11 listed anymore,since Komodo is not an APU,it's "just" and x86 chip,like Zambezi.

Here is the corrected slide. Note the blurb in the notes at the bottom about the previous slide being wrong. Straight from the horses mouth.

[Opteron146]

Wow, only 8 cores for Komodo? Was "up to 10" before.

Looks like the old AMD slide, only the false DX11 information is missing.
Somebody probably didnt know about the new slide and photoshoped the old one.
As long as there is no amd.com in the roadmap's URL, I wouldt believe it.

Mark your calendars for July 16th! AMD and HardOCP are teaming up to deliver the community a GamExperience! Tourneys will be played. Raffles and tons of free stuff will be had. Free-for-all headshots will be made. Winners will be crowned. Losers will be chastised! VIP lounge for Tourney players, plenty of Fusion, Eyefinity, and Big Screen demo stations. And yes, we will give the HardOCP community their first hands-on GamExperience with AMD's next generation unannounced hardware. This event will be open to the public in Dallas, Texas. More details coming soon.

I doubt it's R1000.

today some webs writing about this tabs (spec of 8150)

but from my side its fake...It is not possible

[Oliverda]

fake

Why?

[FlanK3r]

maybe, at web wrote, its from 1.4. ...

[muziqaz]

I don't know why it is fake or even if it is fake, but everyone can make a picture like that with anything written in it.
When you see cpu z shot fake or real you have some relevance to the data you are looking at. Here with those box charts, you just open up a word processor and punch in whatever you want in it and post it on the internet saying this will be released in q4.

[JumpingJack]

Why?

It is impossible for it to launch on June 7th at Computex as Computex was over on June 4th.

[Oliverda]

It is impossible for it to launch on June 7th at Computex as Computex was over on June 4th.

He posted that because of the specs of the 8150P and not because of the launch date. The launch will be in August. It's official now.

My mistake, I thought you were wondering why he thought the slide was fake. To me, most major companies (board makers) would know the dates for Computex. Whoever made this slide obviously did not know Computex ended on the 4th.
