What Are Your Predictions For AMD Bulldozer?
We asked our Facebook followers how they thought the AMD Bulldozer CPU architecture would do once it comes out in June. We’ve had over 110 people vote and it looks like it is dead split right now between AMD catching up to Intel and Intel is doing to bulldoze the Bulldozer. Be sure to jump onto our Facebook channel to cast your vote! It will be interesting to look back when the processors come out and see if our readers guessed right!
Bulldozer is the codename AMD has given to one of the next-generation CPU cores after the K10 microarchitecture for the company’s M-SPACE design methodology, with the core specifically aimed at 10 watt to 125 watt TDP computing products. Bulldozer is a completely new design developed from the ground up. AMD claims dramatic performance-per-watt improvements in HPC applications with Bulldozer cores. Products implementing the Bulldozer core are planned for release during the second quarter of 2011. The Bulldozer cores will support most of the instruction sets currently implemented in Intel processors (including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, CLMUL, and AVX) as well as future instruction sets proposed by AMD (XOP and FMA4).
