جزئیات دیگری از Bulldozer:
The Bulldozer 2-core CPU module contains 213M transistors in an 11-metal layer 32nm high-k metalgate SOI CMOS process and is designed to operate from 0.8 to 1.3V. This micro-architecture improves performance and frequency while reducing area and power over a previous AMD x86-64 CPU in the same process. The design reduces the number of gates/cycle relative to prior designs, achieving 3.5GHz+ operation in an area (including 2MB L2 cache) of 30.9mm2 …
An 8MB level 3 cache, composed of 4 independent 2MB subcaches, is built on a 32nm SOI process. It features column-select aliasing to improve area efficiency, supply gating and floating bit lines to reduce leakage power, and centralized redundant row and column blocks to improve yield and testability. The cache operates above 2.4GHz at 1.1V
Eight-core Bulldozer at 32nm aims for 852 Million transistors and probably some other parts will take a bit more. Have in mind that six core Thuban at 45nm has 904 million transistors on a 346 square millimeter die. The twelve core server version is looking at 1278 million transistors if not a tad more.
