Comment on AMD denies killing off big cores (Kaveri, Steamroller, and Excavator)parent

Comments

Of course they're going to deny it. Even if completely accurate, it's going to be a staged transition and they'll try and salvage as much as they can from current Steamroller R&D. I guarantee that AMD will do at least one more high end CPU. Without the high cost of R&D charged against them, AMD can much more easily make money on its chips, and it will do so as long as it can.

The chip might look more like Piledriver than expected, but it will have some Steamroller bits and will probably be called Steamroller.
