Yesterday we got some initial details about AMD's up-to-8-core Bulldozer CPU codenamed Zambezi and today we got additional details to fill in some gaps.

Zambezi is a 32nm CPU that comes in AM3r2 packaging and it will have 8MB of L3 cache. It is interesting to mention that it supports DDR3-1866, something that is yet to become a standard. At the same time Bulldozer comes in 2011, probably mid to late 2011, so the memory guys have plenty of time to prepare for the faster memory.

The chip also supports a new technology called APM Boost Technology and we suspect that this might be AMD’s answer to Intel’s turbo, but we're not sure about this.

Quad-core Deneb and six-core Thuban 45nm processors will have to hold their ground until Zambezi launches as part of the Scorpius platform, in 2011.
