Thread: AMD Processor Roadmap

The AMD's processor roadmap upgrade for the notebook platform has surfaced on the web. Experienced guys grabbed a couple of slides and showed off the upgraded mobile processor roadmap.

AMD had unveiled their processor roadmap for the desktop and the notebook platform. AMD mentioned about the Sabine platform for notebooks, which would include the Llano CPU, now well-known as the Accelerated Processing Unit. The Llano APU will be a 32nm processor chip with four cores, a 4MB cache, DDR3-1066MHz memory controllers, and a GPU packed on the die.

It will supports the DirectX11 and also united Video Decoder 3 technology which will be later on added to the Sabine we expect for DirectX11 to be released and support a wide range of hardware.



By this year AMD will launch their fresh 45nm processor Tigris platform for the majority notebook market. The Tigris platform will have single and dual core Caspian CPUs and a 780M chipset, which will be further added for the Tigris platform, a chipset bearing a RS880M north bridge chip and SB710 south bridge will be released.

By next year AMD will launch their Danube platform, the Tigris successor that will feature a 45nm processor Champlain CPU with four cores, which will support DDR3-1066MHz module memory and which will move from Socket 1 Generation 3 to Socket 1 Generation 4. For the same platform, a chipset that will have a RS880M north bridge and unnamed SB8xxM south bridge chip will be released; along with that, a discrete GPU architecture code-named Manhattan as well.
