AMD Bulldozer-based Processor & APU Product Roadmap Leaked

Germany website ATI-Forum currently leaked the product roadmap of Bulldozer architecture processors codenamed "Zambezi" and Fusion APU,displaying the release time and power consumption of "Zambezi" and Fusion APU processors.

The first batch of "Zambezi" desktop processor based on Bulldozer architecture at least include four models.Two of them is eight-core products,all features 8MB L3 cache with TDP of 125W and 95W.It’s predicted that they will be launched in the 2nd quarter of 2011.

Apart from two eight-core products,there are also a quad-core and a six-core product.The six-core product still feature 8MB L3 cache and TDP of 95W,while quad-core products decreases to 4MB L3 cache and have TDP of 95W.

These four "Zambezi" processors will be based on 32nm SOI manufacturing process of GlobalFoundries,support Turbo Core technology and features AM3+ port.It is noteworthy that motherboard with AM3+ port is still compatible with CPU with AM3 port,but CPU with AM3+ can’t be used in the motherboard with AM3 port.

As for Fusion APU,low power consumption "Zacate" will come out at the end of this year,including dual-core E-350 and single-core E-240,which support DDR3 1333 memory,integrate DX11 graphics core and UVD3 video engine,are based on 40nm manufacturing process of TSMC,Socket FT1 port as well as TDP of 18W.

High-performance edition "Llano" processor won’t appear in the 3rd quarter of 2011,by that time six products will come along.The first batch of "Llano" processors include two quad-core,a tri-core,two dual-core products.Tri-core and quad-core processors all integrate Beavercreek graphics core,support DX11 with TDP of 100W.While dual-core integrate Winterpark graphics core,feature DX11 as well as TDP of 65W.

Llano APU will be based on 32nm manufacturing process of GlobalFoundries,features Socket FM1 port,DDR3 1600 memory and integrates UVD3 video engine.
