AMD 16-Core Interlagos Server CPUs ships in August

This processor series has popped up in the news a couple of times already. Its getting more substantial now though. As it seems Interlagos server processors (with up to 16-core) based on the Bulldozer architecture start shipping next month with volume availability expected by the end of the year.

AMD's Interlagos processors will have either 12 or 16 processing cores, while also featuring a series of improvements that should increase their performance when compared with the current Opteron 6100-series CPUs.

The chips will feature AMD's Turbo Core dynamic overclocking technology, a configurable TDP, and come with advanced power saving technologies.

Interlagos CPUs features a multi-chip design (the processor is built by joining together two six or eight core Valencia dies) and are compatible with the existing G34 socket.

The AMD representatives haven't disclosed any information regarding the release date of the Valencia server processors, or about the desktop version of these Bulldozer CPUs.

However, a recent FX-Series advertising movie revealed that processor series will launch on September 19.
