AMD Bulldozer Launch Date will Be June 7th at Computex!
A slide from motherboard maker Gigabyte has leaked out and it shows what many claim to be the official launch date of the AMD Bulldozer processor! According to the slide the new AMD CPUs will be launched on 7th June at Computex trade-show in Taipei, Taiwan. The AMD FX “Zambezi” processor retail box designs for the Bulldozer processors were leaked out nearly a month ago, so it doesn’t come as too big of a shock that the release date has been leaked out as well.
AMD plans to release four eight-core AMD FX8000-series chips, two six-core AMD FX6000-series microprocessors and two quad-core AMD FX4000-series central processing units (CPUs) this year. Shipments of AMD FX-series high-end desktop microprocessors will commence on the week of June 20th, 2011, the same document indicated. The first breed of AMD FX8000, FX6000 and FX4000 currently known under Zambezi code-name will completely support all the advantages that the Bulldozer micro-architecture is supposed to bring, including new Flex FP floating point processing unit. The new chips in maximum eight-core configurations are projected – by AMD’s internal documents – to offer roughly 50% performance improvement over Phenom II-series microprocessors in multimedia applications.
