Channel showed a couple of very interesting screenshots. Amid the mass of news about the imminent emergence of new Intel processors and chipsets P55 Lynnfield proof of the existence of the AMD with twelve cores is impressive.

At first, the cut screenshot CPUz 12-core processor called K10, but most of the characteristics of the remains under the veil of secrecy. For some reason, the utility decided that this processor is made by 0nm process technology, which, of course, can not be. More likely that the testing processor is placed on 32nm process technology, which CPUz failed to correctly recognize. Nevertheless, on this screenshot (if it is not a forgery), you can find a number of interesting details, in particular, support for new processor socket G3, as well as the ability to handle up to 12 data streams, one thread per core. Since other characteristics of this sample, the situation is tight.

At the second, a full screenshot, you can see CPUz early engineering sample processor Magny-Cours. He actually has 12 processor cores on a single plate and is working on a very respectable rate of 3.2GHz. This sample was made using 45nm process technology.

It looks like the second half of 2010 will be very interesting. Around this time, the market will 32nm six-and eight-core processors Intel Clarkdale, and AMD will oppose them Magny-Cours, made by a thicker process technology, but with a higher profile the number of cores.
