Still 2011


AMD's first Fusion processor, something that is scheduled to show up in 2011, will support DDR3-1600. By this time, this speed might become a standard and as we said the other day Zambezi Bulldozer process can support up to DDR3-1866.


Llano is a 32nm up-to-quad-core CPU, a part of AMD's Lynx platform and this platform is set to replace the Dorado platform. It is a 32nm product, one of the first for AMD, but the bad part of Llano is that it uses a Phenom-based core which is not the greatest performer, especially when compared to 32nm Intel Westmere and future 32nm processors that should launch in late 2010.

Llano also supports APM boost technology that sounds to us like an automatic overclocking feature, aka turbo, but we cannot confirm this at press time.
