AMD recently introduced technology that enables 2.0 Turbo Core FX-Series desktop chip based on the upcoming Bulldozer architecture capable of reaching speeds up to 1GHz clock frequency is higher than the base when only half a core course that is used by the operating system.

Turbo Core AMD Technology 2.0 technology made ​​its debut a day earlier when the company officially released the first APU is based on the architecture of Llano. This technology uses the latest advanced power gate feature introduced in the processor in Llano and the available information related to the workload handled by the CPU in order to dynamically adjust the operating frequency on the existing core processing.

In this way, this core can exceed its nominal clock speed for a short time to increase chip performance, especially in applications were low thread.

According to the slide that was recently published by Donanim Haber, this technology allows the processor AMD FX-Series yanga will come to improve the operating speed of 1GHz, while only half of the active core.

8-core CPU usage is to represent how the Core 2.0 Turbo technology is working. And even later on this technology will also be available on the model of AMD quad-core processor and 6-core processors.

Bulldozer is the codename given to high-performance architecture that AMD will come already in development for more than four years now.

Unlike the previous AMD design, Bulldozer architecture will use a new approach that relies on a modular architecture. Each module includes two processing cores, as well as other components, and can be paired together to form the CPU up to eight computing cores.

The first chips built on this architecture will reportedly be released in June that will come with the desktop is targeted at the existing market. But this could have been missed since AMD is currently being continued even seem overshadowed by the problems in clock speed he wanted. And this of course is very reasonable, just for example, recently the company has officially delayed the launch of its first FX CPU Zambezi until August or even September 2011 related to these problems.
