AMD had a little show and tell with Asian press to go along with those new Phenom II and Athlon II chips (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/amd-launches-new-phenom-ii-and-athlon-ii-cpus-right-onto-the-tes/) it just launched, and it revealed some of its next-gen plans along the way. In the short term, it looks like the plan is to launch the 45nm Leo (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/amd-spells-out-the-future-heterogeneous-computing-bulldozer-an/) platform we've heard about later this year to better compete with Intel's 32nm Clarkdale parts, and then to push forward to 32nm in 2011 with the Scorpius platform, which will feature a Bulldozer CPU called Zambezi (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/amd-spells-out-the-future-heterogeneous-computing-bulldozer-an/) with up to 8 cores and a "next-generation discrete graphics solution." Midrange desktops will get some "next-generation integrated graphics" of their own this year on the Dorado platform, while 2011 will see the Lynx platform launch with the long-delayed Fusion (http://www.engadget.com/tag/amd,fusion) chip. (We were first supposed to see Fusion chips (http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/) in late 2008, remember?) Fusion is also still on vapor-y track for laptops with scheduled 2011 launch of the previously-leaked Sabine (http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/amd-releases-another-notebook-roadmap-does-not-release-fusion-c/) platform, but AMD also tipped the new Brazos Fusion-based platform powered by the Ontario APU, which is "optimized for new form factors" -- potentially MID-sized, but we don't know for sure. Phew, that's a lot of codenames -- we'd say we can't wait, but we're clearly going to have to learn how.Next-gen AMD Scorpius and Lynx desktop platforms leak out, Fusion still coming in 2011 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/next-gen-amd-scorpius-and-lynx-desktop-platforms-leak-out-fusio/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:04:00 EST.
