The only information from AMD itself came from here: ...

The slides all say "copyright (c) 2006 Hiroshige Goto" at the bottom. What you have here is some third party's incorrect guesses on upcoming AMD cores.

AMD Investor Relations has already debunked all these theories. Rev G is the improved core with the 128 bit FPU. Based on that, I think you can discount the rest of what you have in this presentation.

Please cease and desist from spreading this theory which has already been proven wrong.

Hans, Tx for clearing that up!

Couple of questions:

1. The mobile cpu of rev G on the June analyst day slides that you linked contains a 'Mobile Optimized On Die Northbridge'. Do you think that it is possible that this could include PCI Express? Or am I grasping too far?

2. Do you perhaps know if this mobile CPU bears any relation to Bulldozer?

3. I'm presuming that the additional (i.e. compared to rev F) structures at the edges are related to HTT v3.0. The structure at the top looks like a buffer to my novice eyes. We're presuming that this has to do with HTT 3.0 power management. There's also an added structure at the bottom though that looks like a small buffer with quite a bit of logic added to it, do you perhaps know what that is for??

4. There's talk about rev G, rev GH, and rev H. I think it's pretty clear what rev H is. If rev G is a shrink of rev F, what is rev GH? Isn't it possible that this mobile core is of rev GH, as it has HTT v3.0 but is left without the expanded FPU of rev H?
