Bulldozer, Westmere-EX briefings at Hot Chips 2010
Reported by Sub on Tuesday, June 22 2010 7:36 pm
AMD's current generation of CPU architecture seems to have lasted forever. Starting with the troublesome Barcelona to very competitive products in the budget and mainstream segments and ending with six-core CPUs and 32nm Fusion parts, the K10/Stars architecture has come a long way. However, it is finally going to be replaced by AMD's most significant architectural progression since K8. The Hot Chips 22 conference, held between August 22-24th, 2010 is going to conclude with AMD talking about both their Bulldozer and Bobcat architectures. More next page...

Joining in would be Intel's latest flagship, the Westmere-EX, a ten core server CPU. Very little is known about the Westmere-EX, though it is clear Intel isn't happy with AMD taking over the core-count leadership with their 12-core Opterons.
Also in the line-up are IBM with Power, Nvidia with GF100, ARM, and more.
