AMD 'Bulldozer' CPUs Slated for June

AMD is said to have finalized the shipping dates of its new high-end processor lineup. The company's new nameless lineup of high-end desktop processors will be released to market in the second half of June. The new processors will be built on the 32 nm manufacturing process, and will be based on the much talked about Bulldozer architecture. The reason it's "nameless" is because there's no processor brand (such as Athlon or Phenom) attached to it. The lineup will consist of AMD FX8000 series octo-core processors, AMD FX6000 series hexa-core processors, and AMD FX4000 series quad-core processors. The chip will feature high-speed DDR3 integrated memory controllers, but will lack integrated graphics. AMD will release as many as eight processor models. To support the processors, AMD's partners in the motherboard industry will release socket AM3+ motherboards based on AMD 9-series chipsets, around the same time.

thunderisingit's too late... june intel might tech demo 22nm ivy bridge, year end aka december ivy bridge will come and haunt amd's 6 month old CPUs for good, leave alone the LGA 2011 processors.
hehe, true, but am sure the intel's chipset bug still hunt intel around that time to, and given the fact has amd has the topend of graphics atm with their own NAME aka AMD Radeon HD 6990, should also give amd a boost in marketing :P
