AMD expects to more than quadruple the performance of its current quad-core chips in the next 2 years!
AMD is on a roll this week.
After announcing the June availability of its native six-cores server chip “Istanbul”, AMD unveiled the roadmap of its future processors all the way up to 2011.
In 2-years, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-chipmaker expects to launch its “Interlagos” 16-cores server chip based on the “Bulldozzer” core – which is AMD’s new implementation of the X86 micro-architecture- and build on a 32-nm process. Intel’s first 32-nm chips are expected by the end of this year.
With Interlagos, AMD plans to quadruple today’s server chip performance.
Here’s a video excerpt of AMD’s server boss, Pat Patla, talking about Bulldozer:
