BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Turion 2007 is K10.

Shocking breakthrough ! K8L expired. Giuseppe Amato, AMD technical director of marketing and sales for the EMEA expains.
New architecture is revolutional and it is named K10. Well, what is new?
I suppose 3 to 4 IPC rise. Yes, after his never translated interview in Italian.
Then 4 128bit FPU , instead of 2 current 64bit. Obviously, it is not strange why Cray picked up new K10 for its 250 Tflops supercomputer. (Instead of Intel's Xeons)
And you will find in link above optimization test for some Revision B processor.
NOW WE KNOW. Revision B in this case is Barcelona. Thus, no one in this world this year with better Gflops/Watt ratio to be chosen instead ?.

We know even AMD's add for K9 engineer (who actually had designed mentioned K10 Bulldozer), closed on August 5th 2003.

DESCRIPTION OF POSITION:
Verification of K9 microprocesor with emphasis on the K9 external bus and Northbridge.
SPECIFIC JOB FUNCTIONS:
1. Works with Applications Engineering to develop functional specifications for new products.
2. Reviews methods appropriate to develop new products and selects best method of achieving desired performance and function goals.
3. Utilizes technical skills in multiple product developments.
4. Works on related projects and/or assignments as needed.
5. Use Knowledge of verilog, C++, Perl and computer/microprocessor architecture and design to verify the external interfaces of the cpu and the interal logic structures that drive these interfaces.
PREFERRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
BS with 7+ years exp or MS degree with 5+ years in Electrical or Computer Engineering. Should have expertise in Bus architecture and verification for microprocessors and computer systems.
Of course, K9 was condemned only to be miserable failure, after newly hired K9 designer got those specs above. 10Ghz clock was simply too much even for unbeatable Intel. :)

So new, K10 task emerged. That will be criple implemented in Hawk mobile processor first.
Then it will shine out in Griffin mobile processor in 2008. Just in time to match Intel's 45nm-ers.
Five years since the August 2003 seems to me quite enough for needed new processor time frame.

And because it is not simply lower powered, somewhat improved processor K8L, but seems number cracking beast (allow me to keep all technical detail speculations), due to its NEW, above mentioned, advanced FPU architecture. Add some other known details, like L3, DC architecture, integrated memory controller, split cores power supply and you will really get exciting new architecture.
Named K10. Or whatever.
Oh, and where you will find it first? In 2007 Turion 64 Bulldozer. Just like Intel did with its new Core architecture. First in mobiles.

But contrary to Intel's , please note AMD's clock rise with K10 up to 3,5 ghz.
So, no any single advantage to Intel in the future when K10 emerge, but only numerous disadvantages.
I expect something K10 like as soon as in May. Or even somewhat earlier. Because K10 supporting engineering mobo samples are already in use.
Other sources are more uncertain for K10 emerge:
Q2 2007. Lets wait.
