Bulldozer (processor)

Bulldozer (processor)

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.

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 also implement a new iteration of Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) with 170 new instructions, named "SSE5".
