New chipsets for Bulldozer in approach at AMD

A leak from AMD indicates the arrival of new chipsets for socket AM3 processors a + operator, it is called the Bulldozer course.

AMD Bulldozer operator architecture, the famous FX-Series tested here, are installed on the socket AM3 +. A platform that could see its life lie with the emergence of new chipsets in 2012, 1070 and 1090FX AMD. In any case, the assertions of the leaker Turkish DonanimHaber that publishes excerpts from documents in-house presentations at AMD. We see these new chipsets appear, destined to replace the 900 series that come with the latest desktop processors from depth.

No progress is expected towards the PCIe they should be satisfied with the standard 2.0, but the higher end of these chipsets, the AMD 1090FX, should provide the same bandwidth as that proposed by the Ivy Bridge platform of Intel. All new products are expected from the side of Southbridge, the SB1060, which will manage eight ports SATA 6 Gb / s and USB 3.0 natively (not for the AMD 1070).

No revolution in sight so, and certainly not enough to change the motherboard for its FX Series CPU, but changes that could be attractive to buyers who were preparing to renew their full machine-based AMD. It is not known exactly when the motherboard manufacturers begin to incorporate these chipsets.

Three other chipsets Intel 7 in flight

 

A leak on the XFastest Chinese forum comes to reveal the characteristics of three other chipsets Intel 7 expected for the second quarter of 2012. The Q77, Q75 and B75 intended for platforms for businesses. Ask server, or supercomputer, but desktop systems and small workstations multiécrans through the management of three videos supported by the GPU integrated into the processor.Last April, a leak on the same site revealed Z77, Z75 and H77 intended for the public characteristics (cf. "Intel: 7 Series chipset features"). For memory, chipset Intel 7 are intended to allow the Ivy Bridge, processors 22 nm from Intel which should come out in the second quarter of next year while the Sandy Bridge-E are now expected to these 2012.Professional versions of the Intel 7 chipsets for platforms are close to the public large models, as usual. Both chips have in common supports Socket LGA 1155, the management of 8 lines PCI-Express 2.0, same number of ports SATA or USB 2.0 and 3.0. Models for professionals are compatible Intel vPro (Q77), BSI (Q77 and Q75) and SBA (Q77 and B75) which are technologies intended to facilitate the deployment of business machines and protect user data.

Finally note the lack of ports PCI-Express 3.0 on these models and the presence of ports PCI is the inverse of the mainstream configurations. It is clear that Intel thinks primarily to companies that have desire or need to keep their old cards girls. These chipsets are compatible Smart Response that can use an SSD as cache memory when it is coupled to a hard disk. This is especially useful with low capacity DSS, as the 20 GB SSD Intel 311.

If the leaks continue at this rate, we soon learn more about the QS77, QM77, HM77, HM76 and HM75 which are mobile versions of the Intel 7.
