AMD Bulldozer Octa-Core Slated for 2011

A new 32nm AMD 8 core CPU will mainly be aimed at the server market, but that will not deter hard core hobbyists on having the biggest and baddest in their boxen.

The new 32nm design promises to confuse the very notion of cores, however, with AMD referring to the chip’s building blocks as modules. Each module will feature a pair of 128-bit floating point units and share L1 cache and other resources, essentially allowing a module to function as a dual-core unit while making the overall chip more efficient.
