Q: What is your broad perspective on the development of AMD processor technology over the next three to four years? A: Well, as Dirk Meyer commented at our analysts meeting, we're not standing still. In June 2006, AMD executive vice president Henri Richard had another interview with DigiTimes commented on the upcoming processor developments: On April 13, 2006, Henri Richard, AMD executive vice president and chief officer for marketing and sales, acknowledged the existence of the new microarchitecture in an interview.
#AMD K10 DUAL CORE CODE#
(The "K10h" form that sometimes pops up is an improper hybrid of the "K" code and Family identifier number.) Timeline Historical information In hexadecimal numbering, 0Fh (h represents hexadecimal numbering) equals the decimal number 15, and 10h equals decimal 16. 10h and 0Fh refer to the main result of the CPUID x86 processor instruction. It was revealed, by The Inquirer itself, that the codename " K8L" referred to a low-power version of the K8 family, later named Turion 64, and that K10 was the official codename for the microarchitecture.ĪMD refers to it as Family 10h Processors, as it is the successor of the Family 0Fh Processors (codename K8). In a video interview, Giuseppe Amato confirmed that the codename is K10. The microarchitecture has also been referred to as Stars, as the codenames for desktop line of processors was named under stars or constellations (the initial Phenom models being codenamed Agena and Toliman). The name " K8L" was first coined by Charlie Demerjian in 2005, at the time a writer at The Inquirer, and was used by the wider IT community as a convenient shorthand while according to AMD official documents, the processor family was termed "AMD Next Generation Processor Technology".
#AMD K10 DUAL CORE PC#
It is commonly perceived by the PC community that from the time after the use of the codename K8 for the AMD K8 or Athlon 64 processor family, AMD no longer uses K-nomenclatures (originally stood for Kryptonite ) since no K-nomenclature naming convention beyond K8 has appeared in official AMD documents and press releases after the beginning of 2005. 7.9.1 " Sabine" (32nm SOI, Dual or Quad-core).7.7.2 " Champlain" (45nm SOI, Single-core).6.7.1 Lynx (32 nm SOI, Dual or Quad-core).
6.4.6 Lynx (32 nm SOI, Dual or Quad-core).6.3.2 Regor/Deneb (45 nm SOI, Dual-core).
