All in there. Plenty of codenames too - Terramar, Sepang, Krishna, Wichita, Komodo, and Trinity.

- 28nm Bobcat, a 20-core Bulldozer product, and Bulldozer APUs are all coming in 2012
- Mobile Bulldozer listed too. 2-4 cores plus GPU in 2012.
- Llano in 1H, BD in Q2 for desktop, Q3 for server
- New generations of Bulldozer and Bobcat both in 2012 and in 2013 focusing on perf/watt.
- Graphics bandwidth in Llano 27GB/s, up from 7GB/s for current IGPs but below 100GB/s for current discrete GPUs. This will increase in future generations of APUs.
- Looks like 22nm is replaced by 20nm, will come in late 2013/early 2014

Will update as event continues.

Slide 26 shows the first Bulldozer based APU on an AMD roadmap. So far that is the most interesting thing I have seen. It says that the APU will be released in 2012. (Codenamed "Trinity")

Also the second generation Bulldozer is codenamed "Komodo". First time I have seen that as well.

EDIT: One more thing I noticed. Page 30 shows that Interlagos uses quad-channel DDR3. I'm not sure that was public knowledge before either.

This day seemed so much more exciting last year, those slides really don't reveal much new or exciting.

This day seemed so much more exciting last year, those slides really don't reveal much new or exciting.

It promises process shrinks for Bobcat, architectural upgrades for both BD and Bobcat, and rapid trickle-down of Bulldozer cores into the mainstream segment. I can't think of much else they could say to excite us except a radical new architecture, of which they have two already.

They should start adding GPUs to the Analyst Day. Can't see why they need to be so much more secret than desktop CPUs.
