Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) on Wednesday introduced its two-year product roadmap for servers and workstations, saying it would release its first six-core chip next year and a 12-core processor on a new platform in the first half of 2010.
The new products, codenamed Istanbul and Magny-Cours, respectively, would be 45-nanometer processors versus the 65-nm products AMD ships today. The number refers to the size of transistors on a chip.
