In other news, I just ran across this link (you'll need translation to read it directly, but below is Chrome's translation, images and all).

The FX AMD "Bulldozer" being developed for high-end CPU is the code name to be attached to the brand's lineup. Published May 31 5 "AMD 9 Series" to support the chipset supports AM3 +, AMD FX-branded motherboards for AMD CPU and chipset series 9 "Scorpius" to configure the platform.

 In addition, AMD FX brand, four cores, 6 cores, will emerge as a core line-up 8. The timing, COMPUTEX TAIPEI in 2011, AMD 60 after the appearance of a 9-series chipset and 90 days after the "end of the summer of 2011" has been warned.

 Bulldozer for introducing AMD FX, AMD has also so far released information. Scheduler Core and the integer part, by a conventional cache memory with the following core collection 1 Phenom II X6 both improve performance and scalability from the fetch unit, instruction decoders, floating point scheduler, secondary cache memory, and floating Japanese mathematics unit area is promoting the integration point and power savings can be shared across the cores.

 In addition, Bulldozer, the floating point unit volume OR'ing (FMAC) as per the instruction unit can process 128 bits (bits 128 FMAC) to implement the two groups, together with 256 bits in this one instruction AVX also functions as a unit capable of handling.
