AMD FX Vishera, Bulldozer successor in the third quarter of 2012
AMD is already planning the next generation of their AMD FX to replace the controversial Bulldozer. The firm would list the new platform, codenamed Vishera, between July and September next year. The new high-performance processors include AMD cores Piledriver, Bulldozer evolution of a more efficient power ratio / consumption. According to the report of the website Fudzilla, usual in this type of leaks about CPU, new AMD FX Vishera will remain compatible with the current socket AM3 + signature and chipsets of the 900 series, a very good news for all users Bulldozer, who would not be an exaggeration to make a payment to renew your CPU.
This “advance” comes as a surprise, as previous evidence drawn from roadmaps detailing the firm as successor to Zambezi (Bulldozer) to the Komodo platform, which would use the FM2 socket like the Llano APU and Trinity, and it would have been canceled . AMD is also preparing a new series of chipsets 1000, 1090FX and 1070 models, which would replace the current 900 series, and that would be specifically optimized for AMD FX Vishera.
Before the new batch of FX series processors will arrive between May and June, the replacement of Llano, AMD Trinity, which would give the first signs of the operation of the new kernels Piledriver in which AMD has placed so much hope. The new platform technology developed under the Global Foundries 32nm, although concern now should be more than ready for the second quarter of 2012. The structure of the new AMD FX Vishera be very similar to today, with four core modules on each processor Piledriver, unlike the canceled Komodo platform, which would have five modules.
The competition is served; Ivy Bridge will arrive during the second quarter of next year with few changes in performance with respect to Sandy Bridge, and during the same period come the next generation APUs AMD, Trinity, both for the market desktop and OEM and ODM for laptops joining. Before the new series will fall FX that could put a rush to Intel, so if things go as planned AMD, and we have another “fiasco” as the Bulldozer. It is expected that the new Piledriver compete in both performance and price with the recently announced Intel processors.
