Pictures of Bulldozer and Llano based processors surfaced on the net

A forum member over at ZOL, somehow, managed to lay his hands on a bulldozer based processor and a llano based one. He took some pictures of the two processors.

bulldozer:


bulldozer(pins): the bulldozer processor in the picture has 940 pins. It has two pins more than a socket AM3 processor does.


Llano APU:


Llano APU(pins): the llano processor has 940 pins as well, but the layout of the pins is a far cry from the bulldozer's.


According to the poster, the socket perparing for Llano is called Socket FM1.


He also took a screenshot of CPU-z, but the software wasn't able to identify the Llano processor properly:

Cool. It will be interesting to see how they compare to Intel's current processors

I hope AMD finally manages to make something competitive to Intel.

Yeah. I hope the Bulldozer based processors could at lease on par with, if not better than the Nehalem based processors. I'm sick with intel's changing of platforms every few quarters.
