AMD 'Bulldozer' CPUs Slated for June

AMD is said to have finalized the shipping dates of its new high-end processor lineup. The company's new nameless lineup of high-end desktop processors will be released to market in the second half of June. The new processors will be built on the 32 nm manufacturing process, and will be based on the much talked about Bulldozer architecture. The reason it's "nameless" is because there's no processor brand (such as Athlon or Phenom) attached to it. The lineup will consist of AMD FX8000 series octo-core processors, AMD FX6000 series hexa-core processors, and AMD FX4000 series quad-core processors. The chip will feature high-speed DDR3 integrated memory controllers, but will lack integrated graphics. AMD will release as many as eight processor models. To support the processors, AMD's partners in the motherboard industry will release socket AM3+ motherboards based on AMD 9-series chipsets, around the same time.

HalfAHertz..AMD is still 1,5 years behind intel manufacturing wise.
Maybe you`re right, but... AMD = 80% Intel`s performance for 60% Intel`s price (for now). Let`s see what time will show soon.

It probably will considering video card generations tend to go and come very quickly.

I wouldn't be surprised if AMD announced the 7 series next week. lol

June is a little late but it works out well for me. I got impatient and spent my bulldozer fund on a 5970 w/ waterblock so now I have ample time to save.

Out in June is faster than i thought it would be , i thought it would be out more like September\October time

It may still be September after all since AMD always late on CPU release... :rolleyes:

Anyhow i don't care much for the first revision CPU\AM3+ Mobo since they will be more expensive & probably have less performance than the second generation\version & cheaper price...
Or i could buy a AMD3+ board & use it with my AM3 CPU until Price of AM3+ CPU get cheaper , we'll see...?

Well AMD does do a different manufacturing process than Intel. It allows their CPUs to work in more hostile environments that Intel can. Course the general consumer would never need it. Prolly is holding them back some by keeping it up.

True on the AM3+. Gonna be pricey. I remember when the AM2+ came out. I wanted one but for the cost I could just get a solid AM2 for much cheaper. Couldn't wait for 2nd gen with my former 939 board dying. Finally saw them awhile later and prices were decent.

mdm-adphLazy Asses? :wtf: Dude, it's like David against bloody Goliath -- AMD has a fraction of the R&D money that Intel has. They're probably going as fast as they can, and then some. The fact that they're only 1.5 years behind Intel is amazing, and definitely admirable, and part of the reason why I only buy their chips (that and cost).
its global foundries that does this now.
They're building two mega fabs as far as I know, and will undoubtly increase transition speed by a lot.

Building != has built. When the fabs get up, maybe things will change. But you're still talking about just two more fabs against, what, Intel's 12?

Hunt3rYeah I think it should launch with the 6990 video card
Good call. 6990 is already out. ;)

intels 12 just help out with production capac.
GF had too few to early adopt new processes.
That is what the new will do. and increase production tho.
you move one fab at the time to a new process.

Im hoping the 9 series has usb 3.0 onboard and a better Sata Array. Other than that, this is good, gives me a chance to see some prices and gets some reviews.
