The AMD Bulldozer is the new revolutionary idea introduced by AMD that may leave a long-lasting influence on the company and the way that they design their chipsets. The Bulldozer is a green and energy efficient chipset that is intended for craggy conditions like humidity and environmental temperatures of more than 40 degrees Centigrade. This energy conservation is accomplished though a technology known as Fusion. For some of the people though, the concept of Fusion isn't clear. Fusion in AMD uses eight cores and these are all real cores, not like the virtual cores of Intel and they are CPUs and not APUs.
The company, at the time of its release claimed that the Bulldozer is a 2B transistor chip but results and statistical data with the latest claims have all showed it to be a 1.2 B chip with a die size of 315mm2. AMD is a wonder of modern engineering when it comes to the size, technology, and shape. The building block of the Bulldozer is actually the Bulldozer module, each of which feature a single floating-point core with 2 integrated cores.
The FP hardware is massive in size and AMD has also introduced a new feature which will share it between 2 cores instead of a 1:1 proportion between the FP cores. AMD sells its Bulldozer series on the principle of the quantity of integer cores. A Bulldozer which has two modules is sold as a Quad Core CPU and has 4-integar cores. In the same manner, a 4-module one has eight cores and is sold as an eight-core unit.
The Bulldozer has an wonderful 6 GBps SATA ports in the 990FX chipset. An added feature is the unbuffered blunder correcting code memory that is best for those who need added security. This is a unprecedented feature unlike its counterparts as Intel, etc.
An extra product can also be acquired with the Bulldozer that is known as the Liquid Central Processing cooling system. It costs only $100 and is delivered by Asetek. This is a self-contained cooling system that cools the chipset and comes with radiator fans of 120mm that are sturdy and enduring.
