In May this year AMD company explained that they will develop their multicore server processors in 2010. The previous 8 core processor montreal disappeared from the company plans , in the second-half 2009 will appear the six-core processor istanbul, capable of working in socket F motherboards . It will be released on 45 nm technology as its predecessor shanghai.
Let us note that in the server segment AMD will wait for the introduction of DDR-3 memory support in the first half of 2010. Then will appear the socket g34 processors, which will acquire the memory controllers with DDR3 support . As reports associate , Socket G34 processors will support modules DDR3-800 and DDR3-1600 in the four-channel configuration, including registered modules DIMM. Obviously, AMD desires to outdistance Intel in the quantity of supported memory channels - with the release Of bloomfield their number will rise to three. Quantity of pins in G34 processors will rise from the present 1207 pieces to 1974 pieces.

Additional pins will be required not only for the four-channel memory controller , but also for the hyperTransport 3.0 bus, which now will be separated in a quantity of four channels to one processor. Channel four can be used for the connection of the specialized coprocessor, as implies torrenza platform . It was considered that sao paolo processors will have six core and 6 mb cache in the third level.
Now it is explained, that Sao paolo will be the 8 core processor ( four core for each of two crystals), and the cache volume in the third level will increase to 12 mb. Magny-Cours processors will have twelve core and the same 12 mb cache in the third level. Each of magny-Cours and Sao paolo core will obtain 512 KB cache in the second level.
Again let us recall that these processors will work only in server motherboards .
