Latest Processor from AMD

Latest Processor from AMD Description

After countless years of gossip, presentations, leaks, and showcases AMD's new Bulldozer processors are finally here. This is AMD's attempt at making an architecture with significant multi-threaded performance but at a price which most people can afford.

Many believe that AMD’s last “great” architecture arrived back in the Socket 754 / 939 days when the Athlon 64 processors found themselves competing against and in many ways beating the Pentium 4 black and blue. In those days names like Clawhammer, Sledgehammer, Newcastle and San Diego came to the forefront but somehow their successors never again competed on a level footing against Intel’s flagship processors. AMD needed to get back into the game and their Bulldozer architecture promised exactly that but it didn’t come easy. There were several delays and transitioning to the 32nm manufacturing process seemed to have been particularly hard for AMD’s manufacturing partner. Nonetheless, here we stand with a new architecture primed and finally ready to go.
