AMD to update their server roadmap

AMD have updated their server roadmap. Base on the roadmap, AMD is still on track with their "Shanghai" processor in 2H2008. This is AMD's first 45nm server processor and will feature HyperTransport 3.0, 6MB of cache (instead of 2MB on today's processor), and include core and instruction per clock enhancements.

Furthermore, AMD is planning to release 6-core "Istanbul" in second half of 2009 that will fit within current Socket F1 (1207). And in first half of of 2010, AMD expects to introduct its third generation "Opteron processor Socket G34 platform that supports DDR3 memory controller, AMD RD 890 chipset for non-coherent HyperTransport 3.0, along with an additional HT link."

AMD also plans to release six- and twelve-core Opteron for Socket G34 in first half of 2010, codenamed "Sao Paolo" and "Magny Cours" respectively.

AMD usually does not disclose so future processor release date until it is close or on the date of the launch. Looks like they are on track of their plans and that's why they are able to release the information. Looking at the roadmap, it looks like we are going to see some interesting products coming off the pipelines and that may be able to challenge Intel's Nehalem processor in the near future.
