AMD Bulldozer is LIVE!

Bulldozer is on the market. Sort of. But it has proven that AMD believes that the current B2 stepping model is what they were looking for.
AMD released the Interlagos (Opteron 6200) 16-core chip to resellers today, so expect large server and workstation developers like Dell and HP to have new systems with this powerful (and cool) computing core available very soon! This chip is compatible with current G34 socket motherboards (provided there is BIOS support), but expect to wait until October before these guys are available in the retail (web or store) setting for the rest of us.

AMD Bulldozer X8 In Production: FOLLOWUP

New information has been released, and I feel it is my duty to spill it ASAP. The Bulldozer is coming in September 2011, but Zambezi desktop processors will not be in the first run. Don’t panic! The delay isn’t going to be that long! AMD has announced through PC Magazine that the September 26th launch date is on, and it is locked. There will be no more delays. However, the chips released to suppliers that day will be limited to the Opteron Valencia (4200 series) and Interlagos (6200 series).
Both of these chips will be based on the 8-core Bulldozer architecture, offering dynamic over- and underclocking of cores independently, one of the great features that Bulldozer is bringing to the PC and server market. While an 8-core Opteron Bulldozer-type will be able to dynamically out-perform it’s 8- and 12-core predecessors, it also will also be able to speed up occupied cores handling server functions while simultaneously slow down cores seeing reduced task activity, and this will allow faster computation without the heat stress that is seen on previous Opteron and Intel XEON processors. Furthermore, the two 128-bit FPU (Floating Point Unit, otherwise known as a Math Co-processor) can be dynamically clocked, or even combined into a single 256-bit FPU to power through a task. Very cool! Read more: AMD Bulldozer X8 In Production: FOLLOWUP
