Bulldozer is the codename AMD has given to one of the next-generation CPU cores after the K10 microarchitecture for the company's M-SPACE design methodology, with the core specifically aimed at 10 watt to 100 watt TDP computing products. Bulldozer is a completely new design developed from the ground up. AMD claims dramatic performance-per-watt improvements in HPC applications with Bulldozer cores. ^[1] Products implementing the Bulldozer core are planned for release in 2011. ^[2]

The Bulldozer core, under the M-SPACE design method, can also to be paired with at least one full DirectX compatible GPU core (though AMD did not specify the compatible GPUs, it was presumed to be based on Radeon GPUs), to become part of the Falcon family, a product under the codename "Fusion" label. A new architecture, codenamed Sandtiger, with 8 to 16 Bulldozer cores was also in the works, optimized for servers and HPC applications.

The Bulldozer cores will support most of the instruction sets currently implemented in Intel processors (including SSE4.1, SSE4.2) future Instruction sets announced by Intel (AES, PCLMULQDQ and AVX), as well as future instruction sets proposed by AMD (XOP, FMA4 and perhaps CVT16)^{[3] [4]}.

According to the current roadmap, Bulldozer-based implementations built on 32 nm are scheduled to arrive in 2011 for both servers and desktops, as the 16-core Opteron processor codenamed Interlagos and as the quad-core desktop processor codenamed Orochi.^[5][6]

엄청난 기능을 가지고 2010에 발표 된다고 합니다.

지금은 쿼드코어가 대세지만 곧 8core 가 대세가 올날이 얼마남지 않았군요.
