AMD launches the unfortunately named Brown Falcon

Looks like the embedded version of Stoney Ridge. So long Cat cores, we hardly knew thee.

Brown Falcon = Bristol Ridge platform
Prairie Falcon = Stoney Ridge platform
Merlin Falcon = Carrizo platform

Let´s just wait for Nolan, shall we? 😉

EDIT: Got Prairie and Brown Falcon went wrong way around.

I thought Nolan got canned? Not heard anything about it in a long time.

One version it was canned due Globalfoundries being unable to deliver the 20nm process, outside paper.

Brown Falcon certainly sounds like something you'd find on Urban Dictionary. On point, one wonders how big the embedded and digital signage markets are?

So what, has it been ported to 14nm? That could be interesting, though I'm not sure how competitive a Jaguar derivative would be in 2016.

I expect if we ever see Nolan, it'll probably be 28nm on the same process as Carrizo.
