AMDs Project Skybridge: New ARM and x86 chips that are pin-compatible
2014-05-05 20:09:36| Extremetech
At its Core Innovation Update press conference, AMD has outlined the future of its x86 and ARM efforts. The most notable announcement was the unveiling of Project Skybridge, which in 2015 will see new 20nm x86 and ARM SoCs that are pin-compatible with each other -- that is, there'll be a single chipset/socket that can take either an ARM or x86 SoC, depending on what makes more sense. AMD also showed off its first, working 64-bit ARM server chip (Seattle), and slipped in a quick aside that it is indeed working on a new, from-scratch x86 core, with an expected release sometime around 2016.
