The slide showing AMD's roadmap is interesting. They plan to update the core yearly, just like how they're doing it with their GPU sector.

It never happened before during the whole time AMD's been releasing processors, where they stuck to a 2-year release schedule. I'm thinking this is like Fermi, starts off bad (though in bulldozer's case, pretty bad), but may start to pay off after optimizations in the end.

Nice to look forward to new processors each year.
