Hate it when google cuts the link short
Potential successors FX: AMD shows 16-core processor scheme in Programming Guide

Basically the article is saying that this is the first generation of this type of architecture. It seems that it was a semi-rush job, ie. using automated wiring methods. AMD may or may not replace the FX line with this new architecture. So it looks like Piledriver may be the last for a bit of time.

Also: This Kabini article.

i`d build a kabini based htpc.

Auto Wiring Methods...

...AMD has gone to no had crafting for the extra bit of ooomph. The reason why performance of the long-awaited Bulldozer was below expectations is not only because it was late, but because AMD had adopted design techniques that did not allow it tweak performance.

Management decided there should be such cross-engineering [between AMD and ATI teams within the company] ,which meant we had to stop hand-crafting our CPU designs and switch to an SoC design style.

Finally an ocforums review about that!
