A couple of leaked AMD roadmaps have surfaced over in Japan, hinting at what the semiconductor giant will have to offer in the coming years.
In terms of desktop platforms, it looks as though AMD won’t be able to deliver 32nm CPUs until 2011 - putting it roughly a year behind rival Intel, who plans to introduce 32nm parts in the first quarter of 2010.
Looking at the coming year, AMD’s challenger in the performance stakes will be the upcoming hexa-core Thuban processor, apparently clocked at 2.8GHz and coupled with an RD890+SB8xx chipset. In the mainstream space, 45nm Athlon and Phenom processors with up to four cores will hope to be more competitive when paired with the 800-series chipset.
