AMD starts shipping 12-core Opterons
Submitted by hitbsecnews on Tue, 2010-02-23 02:18
CHIPMAKER AMD is reporting that it is churning out and shipping its latest 8-core and 12-core processors, codenamed Magny Cours, to select OEMs and Ebay auctioneers.
Magny Cours or rather Opteron 61xx chips feature revised quad channel memory controllers and remain within the 75W power envelope occupied by their predecessors, the 6-core Istanbul chips. However the Opteron 61xx requires a new socket, the G34, so it won't be a drop-in upgrade like the step up from Shanghai to Istanbul was.

AMD Reveals Fusion CPU+GPU, To Challege Intel in Laptops
Submitted by hitbsecnews on Tue, 2010-02-09 04:38
The "Llano" processor that AMD described today in an ISSCC session is not a CPU, and it's not a GPU—instead, it's a hybrid design that the chipmaker is calling an "application processor unit," or APU. Whatever you call it, it could well give Intel a run for its money in the laptop market, by combining a full DX11-compatible GPU with four out-of-order CPU cores on a single, 32nm processor die.

AMD shakes up x86 CPU world with two new designs
Submitted by hitbsecnews on Fri, 2009-11-13 06:50
Companies rarely make big news at financial analyst day events, but AMD bucked that trend Wednesday by unveiling details of its newly revamped roadmap, its two brand-new processor architectures, and its plans for CPU/GPU integration. (AMD and Intel also made some other news together). Rather than attempt a comprehensive overview of what was announced, I'll walk you through the two new processor architectures, leaving the CPU/GPU "Fusion" revelations and roadmap specifics for a second article.
