There is a new core under development (post EX) and its code name has nothing to do with construction equipment. It's relatively safe to assume it won't have Bulldozer module as its basis but anything is possible I guess.how about argueing about what not to talk about we talk about something.
will the module based processors be extended or will they replace them with a new x86 cpu.
what would you guys like to see even if you think they will not make it

Just to support your finding by recalling my search cache: there was a description of having recently worked on a new x86 core design (associated with a high-performance attribute) and a from-sketch low-power core with unspecified ISA. There is also AMDer sharing in my mother language, which the message is similar yet specified the existence of custom ARM design and ambiguous on the positioning of x86 core, which was said to not be named after Cat or BD families. So based on mainly this two pieces of information, I would bet this next iteration of CPU cores from AMD to be an x86 high-performance one plus an ARM power-efficient one, as I argued in some other forums. There are always other combinations of speculations available for people to pick, anyway, like GoodbyeX86AndHugARM, or ThingsRemainUnchanged.Linkedin is a gold mine for information like that . It should be a big core but I have no idea if those two people were/are involved in the development process.
Oh you mean these ~I think there is quite some information known about Broadwell, if you look at Wikipedia or all the news since September. We even know its die size (80mm² for Broadwell-Y). Not sure if you know such things about Qualcomm's 2015 products.
Oh you mean these ~
Snapdragon 610 & 615: Qualcomm Continues Down its 64-bit Warpath with 4/8-core Cortex A53 Designs
No wonder Intel's mobile plans are flailing cause they're promising lots of things & delivering little(if any) on time, not very unlike what AMD was accused off not too long ago !
If I remember correctly, Bay Trail was actually a 2014, high-end and Windows only product.

If there is really a new core, I would guess "module" to be dropped. More precisely, there is no such a point to share an FPU, given low power cores are still fine with dedicated FPUs, and un-sharing may enjoy better latencies and lower design complexity either. But speaking of many-core scaling, part of the scaling challenge will be moved back to the inter- and intra-chip interconnect architecture, which is a weak spot of AMD today's in-market Opteron. A nice note is that there seems a new multi-core interconnect in AMD's oven which is said to be ambidextrous, and also intriguing research-patent pairs, which served as a base of following hetero-arch researches, from AMD Research in 2010/11 about a region-granularity directory protocol. So let's wait and see how it will turn out. People looking forward to an immediate FinFET successor to Carrizo could be disappointed, anyway. Very high chance of non-skipping migration, I guess, as foundries are screaming for charging more for newer processes as reported. Perhaps we will see 20nm to back the low-end in parallel to FinFET processes in higher margin market segments? P.S. Forget passwords doesn't help my old account, uhhhh. P.S.2. I assume everything above is discoverable on Google with one's creative combinations of keywords, as I got all this pieces from the search engine either. But the warning is the searching costs you time...
think that a apu or soc with 4 full x86 cores 8 arm cores a gpu a audio processor with true audio and a dsp might be interesting
Why would such a Frankenstein be remotely interesting?
that is basically kaveri with a dsp and expanded audio processor and the arm cores.
would be interesting what 4 big cores and 8 small cores could run

Because coding nightmares are fun!And why would you want to mix x86 and ARM?
And why would you want to mix x86 and ARM?
I'd rather see an 8 core jaguar type APU with larger cache and clocks
so basically a ps4
with higher clocks (PS4 clocks lower than a6-5200). and not tied to a hamstrung gaming system OS.
Why not simply ride on the voltage scale and gate off unused cores? I see a point of big little mix in the generic use pattern of handheld devices with a smart OS scheduler, but I doubt the practicality of such configurations in PC environment.think that a apu or soc with 4 full x86 cores 8 arm cores a gpu a audio processor with true audio and a dsp might be interesting

Yes, and also with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.not enough of an expert to know about this. not give unused cores any power?
It is just about adding a set of weaker, smaller cores when you have a set of power-scalable cores already. What benefits particularly would you get from such heterogeneous general-purpose CMP with the generic PC use pattern? As of my observation, I would define the PC use pattern as "all about multi-tasking responsiveness", say responsive browsers, office suites, productivity software, creativity tools, etc. You get it on when you need it, and you make it sleep what you are done with it. So honestly speaking, I don't see the necessity of such configurations to save power to the edge as in handheld devices. Nor many-core throughput computing would be the scope of PC.alright. so what exactly are vector processors?
Thanks for the link. I liked these answers to the question "How do you feel about AMD? (No really, let it out )":BTW, I was reading an AMA with someone from Intel, and stumbled across this comment: [...]
Intel Engineer at reddit said:They have fantastic people. I cannot underscore this enough, with the resources they have the fact that they're able to compete in the same ballpark we do shows their quality. Sadly for all of us, execution is key. We want to see an exciting marketplace as much as you do.
That's the reality I know. And then there are forums (like football stadiums) with certain strong opinions...answering AMD_GPU_Designer said:Thanks for this . We at AMD (especially on the GPU side) have a intense amount of respect for the engineers over at Intel. What Intel has done with their recent CPU architecture, along with the constant advances in fabrication technology, they deserve a lot of credit for "keeping the ball moving forward" in our industry.
To support jecb's argument, you often hear of negative press going on between the two companies, but that kind of animosity is largely isolated to the legal, marketing, and upper management levels. The engineers at most companies tend to have many good friends working for competitors, and while we might throw in a friendly jab every now and then, it's almost a universally friendly community.
Thanks for this AMA. It's always cool to hear what it's like on the blue team .
this would benefit with ddr4 right
