Neben mehr oder weniger aufregenden Details auf der GPU-Roadmap hat AMD auf dem Financial Analyst Day auch eine aktualisierte Prozessor-Roadmap veröffentlicht. In allen drei Bereichen, bei den Desktop-, Mobile und Server-Prozessoren will AMD nächstes Jahr mit der neuen Architektur angreifen. Im Desktop-Bereich den Anfang machen "Ontario" und Zacate", welche als Single- und Dual-Core-Modelle das untere Preissegment bedienen sollen und als APU ausgeführt sind. Die maximale Leistungsaufnahme soll bei 9 bzw. 18 Watt liegen. Den Mainstream-Markt bedient "Llano", ebenfalls mit integrierter GPU und 2-4 Prozessor-Kernen. Den Performance-Bereich soll "Zambezi" abdecken, welcher auf der Bulldozer-Architektur beruht und als 4-, 6- oder 8-Kern-Modell ausgeführt werden kann. Für 2012 sind dann schon die ersten Nachfolger vorgesehen.
