AMD roadmap reveals Zacate

Posted on Monday, July 26 2010 @ 23:07 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Earlier today FUD Zilla published some information about AMD's upcoming Ontario processors, but a leaked roadmap published over at German tech site ATI Forum contains different information.

According to the site, AMD is working on two Ontario-based "Zacate" processors. The single-core part reportedly has a 18W TDP while the dual-core version uses 25W, and both models feature integrated DX11 graphics. The report from FUD Zilla contains different power specifications, and claims only the dual-core version has integrated graphics.

ATI Forum also got its hands on some details about the Hudson D1, the chipset that will be paired with the Zacate processors. Here's a short list of the Hudson D1 features:

Unified Media Interface: PCIe x4 Gen 2
PCIe GPP: 4 x1 Gen 2
USB (2.0 + 1.1): 14 + 2
PCI 33MHz: Yes
SATA: 6x 3Gbps
RAID: No
FIS-based switching: No
Clock gen: integrated
GbE MAC: No
TDP: 6W

Unfortunately, there's no support for USB 3.0.
