The debut of the next generation of APUs AMD for desktop and laptop mid-range, known by the code name of Trinity, should take place during the first months of next year. According to earlier by Thomas Seifert, Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. and up to a few weeks ago as interim CEO, the debut of the solutions that will take the place of AMD's APU Series A will already be at the beginning of 2012 and mid-year.
Seifert has anticipated this information during the Deutsche Bank Technology Conference held in Las Vegas in recent days, as reported by the site Bright Side of News. This information can place the public launch of Trinity solutions at the CES 2012 event, which will open during the first half of January.
Trinity Solutions will resume the basic architecture of the Llano APU as complement component 4-core CPUs up to a maximum near a GPU compatible with DirectX 11. The differences are considerable in any case: the proposals will be fact-based Trinity family Bulldozer core, the same basic architecture that AMD will propose solutions to the FX family expected to debut in the fourth quarter of 2011. Specifically, they are solutions Pile driver, common to the family of flagship desktop CPU expectations for 2012 that will take the place of FX Solutions.
Substantial changes are also expected for the integrated video subsystem: find it, sand on available information, design architecture adopted by quoting what VLIW4 AMD Radeon HD 6900 solutions for the desktop segment, the technical choices we will be followed for much of the future range Radeon HD 7000 expected to debut in late 2011.
It will not change the production technology: Trinity solutions will be built with 32 nm manufacturing technology as a partner using GLOBALFOUNDRIES. With regard to the latter Seifert showed that the overall yields are not yet at the level hoped for. This also explains why AMD has pushed to sign a contract to supply at prices not tied to the number of wafers to the products actually produced working day, with a more favorable context for AMD's yields are still far from ideal that technology to production 32 nanometers.
The difficulties of manufacturing 32-nanometer technology GLOBALFOUNDRIES however, seem to be more related to the production of APU Llano than to those of the CPU architecture-based solutions Bulldozer, belonging to the FX family. We will see, however, only in the next few weeks, how, and with such volumes, the new proposals for AMD's flagship desktop systems will debut on the market, as well as with overall performance levels.
