Comes in 2009


AMD has
just released an updated roadmap and it looks that there is a new chip on the way. Codenamed Conesus, it is targeting the mini-notebook market. We reported that the company had such a chip just a day earlier.

Conesus is a lake in western New York State and it looks like mini-notebook codenames will go after lakes. We know that Conesus is 45nm dual-core chip with 1MB L2 cache, probably 2x512KB or 512KB per core, and it supports DDR2 only memory. It comes as a BGA chip and it should come out in 2009, but AMD didn’t want to go in any more precise details.

The successor is codenamed Geneva and comes in 2010, again as 45nm chip.
