AMD has told partners that its upcoming and already delayed AMD 890 chipset in both FX and GX variants will support Bulldozer and its first Zambezi core.

AMD 890 FX is scheduled to launch in May to June 2010, most likely in early June at Computex, and at first it will come in AM3 motherboards. At some point in 2011, AMD 890FX will find its place to AM3R2 motherboards, and it is not clear today should boards based on first AMD 890 chipset support the upcoming Bulldozers.

Bulldozer is the first cool CPU codename that AMD used after years of stellar names, and we still remember how cool the Hammer codename was.
