Know Your Processor AMD Bulldozer

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. according to the plan will immediately throw the processor based on AMD's FX Series Bulldozer micro-architecture to the world market. In the early stages of AMD released four models with eight cores, six cores or four cores, and the TDP (Thermal Design Power) 95W or 125W. The model is AMD FX8000, FX6000 and FX4000 are currently known by the code Zambesi. All three models are beginning to fully support what is supported by the micro-architecture Bulldozer, including a new processing unit Flex FP floating point. Bulldozer eight-core chips offer increased performance by 50% compared to AMD Phenom II in running multimedia apikasi. Processor AMD FX series are produced through the 32 nm SOI technology (Silicon on Insulator) supports dual-channel DDR3 1866 MHz, Turbo Core support dynamic acceleration technology and is present in the AM3 + form factor.

While in the second stage, Bulldozer chip also consists of four processors and will bring improved performance. Two eight-core chip FX 8130 and FX 8110, a six-core FX 6110 chip and a chip four-core FX 4110. The following data:

Furthermore, through the design of AMD Orochi, which is the next generation processor for high-end desktop (Zambesi) and server (Valencia), they will feature eight processing engines. But because it is based on micro-architecture Bulldozer, then the number of cores will be put into four modules. Each module has two independent integer cores, a floating point unit Flex FP FMAC pipeline with two 128-bit encryption. The chip is equipped with L3 cache, dual-channel DDR3 memory controller and HyperTransport bus using 3.1. Zambesi chip will use the AM3 + form factor and requires a new platform. According to AMD's new platform will be named Scorpius processor that combines the power of Bulldozer, AMD Chipset VGA 9 Series and Radeon HD 6000 discrete.
