AMD sheds more light on Bulldozer processor architecture

AMD sheds more light on Bulldozer processor architecture

Posted on Aug 24, 2011 by MG15

Filed in: CPUAMD

AMD has disclosed a number of fresh details surrounding its upcoming Bulldozer processor cores, along with the AM3+ platform. Presentation slides show a Bulldozer die with eight AMD64 cores and 8MB of L2 cache, two 72-bit DDR3 memory channels and four 16-bit receive/16-bit transmit HyerTransport links. The new architecture splits eight cores across four Bulldozer modules, each with two integer cores and a floating point core.

The AM3+ socket architecture adds support for low-voltage DRAM, increased current for higher frequency HyperTransport connections and two memory channels. The sockets will be backwards-compatible with older AM3 processors, though it is designed for use with 9-Series ch...

AMD updates Fusion line-up with three new APUs

AMD updates Fusion line-up with three new APUs

Posted on Aug 22, 2011 by MG15

AMD has introduced three new Fusion APUs belonging to the E-series and C-series. The new processors include the E-450, E-300, and C-60, which will replace current models on its respective price points and power output specifications.

As we learned in our review last February, the AMD Fusion platform combines Bobcat cores together with GPU cores to create Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). The Bobcat cores are a significant step ahead of Intel's Atom as they're out-of-order 64-bit cores.
