AMD Bulldozer Processor eagerly awaited

AMD has true fans throughout the world are eagerly awaiting the new release of the architecture of one of its processors - the Bulldozer.

This new release of the company is scheduled for June and will hit the market with the name of Zambezi. The expected changes are radical when compared with current processors Athlon II and Phenom II . The new processor will have a power similar to or exceeding that of high-end Core i7.

AMD claims that the native 8-core models Bulldozer will hold in the higher ranges,. Turbo mode was improved, version 2.0 includes new instructions such as SSE4.2 and AVX. The latter is one of the innovations of the Intel Core Second Generation.
Zambezi maintain the philosophy to offer AMD processors at prices and high yields and a better price to performance ratio.


The big news is the integration of a new socket, AM3 + to replace its predecessor, the AM3. While it will be backward compatible, it is recommended to update to maximize the potential of new buses. Another novelty, represent the new AMD chipsets called 900 which will have higher memory transfer rate and higher HyperTransport data rate.

AMD, along the lines of the current market, processors will present different ranges and thus of different prices. The higher price would be around $ 300 while the lowest not reach EUR 200.

It is expected that AMD finally takes the technological leap with its BULLDOZER.
with improvements such as higher n. x-cycle instruction, through SSE4.1 SSE4.2,
x watt higher performance through 32nm technology. / architecture
higher yield x thread running through x2 thread x modules,
and the icing on the cake .. increased computational power through AVX mathematical instructions .. advanced instruction vector for double precision of mathematical calculation.
