Template:Future chip Bulldozer is the codename AMD has given to one of the next-generation CPU cores after the K10 microarchitecture for the company's M-SPACE design methodology, with the core specifically aimed at 10 watt to 100 watt TDP computing products. Bulldozer is a completely new design developed from the ground up. AMD claims dramatic performance-per-watt improvements in HPC applications with Bulldozer cores. [1] Products implementing the Bulldozer core are planned for release in 2011. [2]
The Bulldozer core, under the M-SPACE design method, can also to be paired with at least one full DirectX compatible GPU core (though AMD did not specify the compatible GPUs, it was presumed to be based on Radeon GPUs), to become part of the Falcon family, a product under the codename "Fusion" label. A new architecture, codenamed Sandtiger, with 8 to 16 Bulldozer cores was also in the works, optimized for servers and HPC applications. The Bulldozer cores will also implement a new iteration of Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) with 170 new instructions, named SSE5.
