Bulldozer has not been seen before 9 Series motherboards are released first

The Llano APU will be released on schedule in June, but the more bullish bulldozers are no longer expected. Now it is only vaguely scheduled for the third quarter, but the exception is that the supporting 9 series motherboards will be staged in advance.

Compared to the existing 8 series, the AMD 9 series chipsets have not changed much from the Northbridge to the Southbridge. The motherboard makers are also well prepared and developed a lot of new products. However, the progress of the bulldozer processor has been delayed. Rear.

According to motherboard makers, engineers are now not getting the final production version of the bulldozer. They are still incapable of early samples and even have to use the Phenom II for some functional tests in compatibility mode.

According to the grapevine news, the bulldozer FX series processors will most likely not be officially released until the end of August or even September, and the 9 series motherboards will take precedence in June. Although the motherboards of these Socket AM3+ sockets are compatible with the Phenom II and Athlon II processors using the AM3 interface, this combination is hardly acceptable. In fact, the motherboard manufacturers themselves are not willing to promote the 9 series of new products in advance. According to AMD, early release is unavoidable, but there will not be a lot of supply, which is largely symbolic.
