reports AMD is already working on compiler support for "Steamroller", the third-generation Bulldozer chip.
Second-generation Bulldozer processors only started appearing
recently in the form of the Trinity APUs with Piledriver cores. The next
Bulldozer-2 wave will come when AMD releases their Piledriver-bearing
"Vishera" FX-Series desktop processors. While this hardware has yet to
publicly arrive, AMD is are already working on compiler support for
their third-generation Bulldozer -- a.k.a. "Steamroller" --
micro-architecture.
