Bulldozer performance approaching six-core Core i7

In the past two years, Intel's prestige in the area of ​​microprocessors, many people are looking forward to AMD can make a comeback, make this world more lively, so it is full of expectations for the new bulldozer (Bulldozer). Well, now the good news is coming.

According to preliminary test results disclosed by multiple industry sources, the bulldozer's performance is already very close to the six-core Core i7 processor. Although the specific data is unknown, if this news is true, it will make us even more hopeful for bulldozers. Considering that the bulldozer adopts a new modular design concept, it needs to be targeted for optimization in software programming, and there should be better performance after the official release. Perhaps this is why AMD dared to use the "FX" sub-brand for bulldozers.

However, expecting AMD to turn over with a bulldozer is not realistic. Although Intel's newly released Sandy Bridge is mainly targeted at the mainstream and low-end markets, the performance of the highest-end model Core i7-2600K can be similarly similar to the six-core Core i7-980X in many cases. In addition, Intel still has a new real end at the end of this year. A generation of high-end platform LGA2011, will bring eight-core, four-channel DDR3 memory and other specifications. In any case, bulldozers can at least make Intel feel no pressure, and it is a good thing for market competition and consumers.

Sources also revealed that the GlobalFoundries 32nm process is progressing well and the yield rate is high enough. In fact, the bulldozer samples have already been circulating in the hands of some customers for some time. GlobalFoundries also reiterated that the new process has no problems and will support AMD’s plans to release bulldozer processors in the first half of this year.

Related news, GlobalFoundries plans to invest 5.4 billion US dollars this year, twice the amount of investment in 2010, mainly for the expansion of existing fabs, and the construction of new factories in New York. In contrast, TSMC's investment in this year is not small, up to 5.9 billion US dollars.
