On the heels of the launch of its quad-core server chips codenamed Shanghai that use the 45-nanometer process technology, AMD has laid out its roadmap for desktops and notebooks.
The company will have a 65-nm chip codenamed Conesus with two cores and 1MB cache for the ultra-portable and mini-notebook, or the netbook, market in 2009. In 2010 the Conesus chip will be succeeded by Geneva which will have twice the cache at 2MB.
For mainstream notebooks, the company will have a dual-core 45-nm chip codenamed Caspian with 2MB cache available next year, said AMD during its meeting with financial analysts Thursday.
AMD will also move to a 32-nm manufacturing process by 2011 with processors codenamed Llano for desktops. Llano will be an integrated CPU, GPU unit and will have four cores. For ultraportable notebooks, it will have dual-core chips codenamed Ontario with 1MB cache and integrated graphics processing unit.
