AMD Bulldozer new improvements by 2014

AMD has set itself the goal of improving by 50% by 2014 Bulldozer architecture. The first reviews on the new CPUs have shown a picture not very rosy, the processors do not have exciting performance on the special architecture that uses a variety of shared resources between the core of each module. In addition, the power dissipation was higher than other Intel processors of the counterparty.

To counter this negative publicity and try to restore confidence in the FX brand, the company has now published a roadmap that talks about the improvements planned for the architecture until 2014, an ambitious timetable, given how much and how things can change suddenly in world of technology.

Looking at the graph shows that the various architectures Piledriver, and Bulldozer Steamroller, should improve their properties up to 30-50% by 2014 (subject to change without notice, of course).
