In the network appeared last version the company plans to release AMD. As expected, the nearest high-performance platform is Leo processors Thuban, which were originally six-core version of the modern processors Phenom II X4 and are based on server processors Istanbul. In addition to processors Thuban in the platform will include Leo chipset RD890, presumably, AMD 890FX in conjunction with the south bridge SB850. Drawings will be based on a series ATI Radeon HD 5000 supports DirectX 11.

Basically segment producer will sell the processors of the same series of Athlon II, but in a new, faster performance, together with the new chipset with IGP, RS880P. According to rumors, the graphics core RS880P will be made based on the Radeon HD 4000 and, therefore, will provide only graphics support DirectX 10.1, but not a preferred option DX11. On the other hand, DX11 is not yet so common that the lack of support it significantly affected the sales in the medium price segment. This platform will be called Dorado. Chipsets 800 seems, will only support DDR3 RAM.

In 2011, AMD finally introduce its next-generation architecture, Bulldozer, and transfer their processors on 32nm process technology. High platform Scorpius will be based on the processor Zambezi, which will be from 4 to 8 cores. Interestingly, the socket of the processor will be called AM3r2. If AMD can actually win support for new processors old socket, even with updating BIOS, it will be a great advantage of the new platform. While such a development is unlikely, Bulldozer is postulated as the largest producer of architectural revolution since the K8. Graphics Platform Scorpius will refer to the next generation of ATI, which should appear at the end of 2010.

In place of the platform will Dorado platform Lynx, which includes long-awaited Fusion. The first processor of the platform, of course, will be the APU LIano. Recall, APU is a processor that combines the GPU and CPU on a single silicon plate. While on LIano almost nothing is known.

Specific release dates have not yet known, but it seems we can expect the emergence of new platforms for AMD in the first half of the year. It is interesting that the manufacturer is going to miss the stage for 32nm processors K10.5. Undoubtedly, until the end of 2009 AMD will be selling low, until, until, in 2010 did not appear sufficiently productive supply at affordable prices. However, in the segment processors by up to $ 100 in the batch of 1000 pieces Pisces and Dorado offer quad-core solutions on the price of dual-core Intel processors. In early 2010 CPU AMD Athlon II would oppose dual-core Intel Clarkdale.
