Hey Guys,
I'm sitting in a keynote from AMD's Chuck Moore, and here is information on the next generation i.e. K8L.
0. Native quad core
1. Hypertransport up to 5.2GT/s
2. Better coherency
3. Private L2, shared L3 cache that scales up.
4. Separate power planes and pstates for north bridge and CPU
5. 128b FPUs - see 14,15
6. 48b virtual/physical addressing and 1GB pages
7. Support for DDR2, eventually DDR3
8. Support for FBD1 and 2 eventually
9. I/O virtualization and nested page tables
10. Memory mirroring, data poisoning, HT retry protocol support
11. 32B instead of 16B ifetch
12. Indirect branch predictors
13. OOO load execution - similar to memory disambiguation
14. 2x 128b SSE units
15. 2x 128b SSE LDs/cycle
16. Several new instructions
Coprocessors:
media processing
JVM/CLR acceleration
TOE, XML or SSL processing
Anyway, ours news posting is somewhat broken, so I might not get to turn this into news. But you heard it here first : )
