AMD launches two new X86 Bulldozer, Bobcat Architectures

AMD has introduced new X86 Architectures , AMD Bulldozer and Bobcat Architectures Out.Bobcat is AMD's new mobile platform and Bulldozer is focused on servers, each branch away from traditional designs to cater to their specific markets. Bobcat, for instance, will feature extremely low power requirements, with thermal envelopes under a single watt.

Initially based on a 32nm process, the new Bulldozer chips will feature multiple sets of pipelines that share a single 128bit FPU, as well as L2 and L3 cache. It's speculated the CPU will be capable of executing a minimum of four instructions per cycle, and quite possibly double that. Unfortunately AMD has been very light on specific details, and were more interested in announcing timeframes than design specifics.

In 2011, Brazos platform will be introduced with dual-core Bobcat architecture based chips and "Ontario" APU (accelerated processing unit). This in true sense would Intel Atom competitor and it would be interesting to see whether AMD introduces at lower price points
