Today AMD shared more details of its upcoming Fusion processors for the first time. Chekib Akrout, general manager of AMD’s Technology group, said the company is creating two very different new x86 cores: Bulldozer, designed for servers and mainstream desktop and notebook clients, and Bobcat, a very small design for low-power applications
Akrout said Bobcat has a very low-power design, capable of running at less than 1 watt, with 90 percent of today’s mainstream performance in less than half of the silicon area. It will first show up in the “Brazos” platform, designed for thin mobile computers, in 2011.
