He hasn't been on the forums in half a year. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you edited it considering he gave me permission to use it as I like. Plus I don't want to bother him again when he already did so much. I'll just add his name to it when it's ready to be posted to give him credit. I attached the .svg he sent me. It's been so long that I can't exactly remember everything that needed to be changed. I suddenly became very busy one week and then forgot all about it. I'll have to go through those old PMs and take a look. He did a good job but it still needs some adjustments.
As you can see it's too big. Way too big. And some of the colors make the text difficult to read (the red and yellow text in particular).
Thoroughbred, Barton/Thorton needs to be shifted a bit to the right so that it is completely inside 130nm.
Ultimately I want this organized a bit more neatly into rows/columns that are aligned. Which is why I listed "empty" to indicate empty slots. He seems to have used center align in each manufacturing process column. I want them spaced out so that they align in rows and columns (without grid lines). Read the PM below and hopefully you'll know what I mean. Look at the part that talks about layers in particular.
I'm curious to see what you can pull off. I'll do a more thorough error check soon.
Try to replicate the style if you can.
We're going to start at 180nm just like the Intel chart but we're only
going to go up to 28nm since AMD hasn't released any info. about
anything past that on their roadmap yet. There are two extra
manufacturing processes that Intel doesn't use, 40nm and 28nm. Your
manufacturing process (the bottom) slots will need to be much wider. On
Intels chart there are only at max 2 chips per manufacturing process but
with AMD there are sometimes over half a dozen. The manufacturing
process slots all need to be equally wide and all need to be wide enough
to accommodate 4 chip codenames. The widest will be 130nm which has
Thoroughbred + Barton/Thorton from K7 and Sledgehammer +
Clawhammer/Newcastle from K8 (4 slots total). Also 65nm will use all 4
slots.
The microarchitecture boxes must be different colors just like the Intel flowchart.
There is not going to be any names in red font or blue font so you can get rid of the font color legend in the upper right.
Microarchitecture (the boxes) List:
K7 (180nm, 130nm)
K8 (130nm, 90nm, 65nm)
K10 (65nm 45nm, 40nm, 32nm)
Bulldozer (32nm 28nm)
Bobcat (40nm, 32nm, 28nm)
This is all of the microarchitectures in order and the manufacturing
process slots that they occupy (so that you know how far the box needs
to stretch).
Manufacturing Process List:
180nm (K7)
130nm (K7, K8)
90nm (K8)
65nm (K8, K10)
45nm (K10)
40nm (K10, bobcat)
32nm (K10, bulldozer, bobcat)
28nm (bulldozer, bobcat)
This is the inverse. A list of all of the manufacturing processes slots
in order and the microarchitecture boxes in them. As you can see the
boxes will overlap a bit so you will need to stack them on top of one
another like the Intel flowchart. I don't care which direction you stack
them in. As you can see at 32nm you will have three boxes stacked on
top of each other.
I suggest you make the boxes first then move onto stage 2 (filling them
in with the codenames) since that would probably be easiest. Everything
above this sentence is stage 1, everything below it is stage 2.
K7
180nm (Pluto/Orion, Thunderbird, Palomino)
130nm (Thoroughbred, Barton/Thorton)
1 layer tall with all 5 in a single straight line. Pluto/Orion, Thunderbird, Palomino, Thoroughbred, Barton/Thorton
K8
130nm (Sledgehammer, Clawhammer, Newcastle)
90nm (Winchester, Venice, San Diego, Manchester, Orleans, Toledo, Windsor)
65nm (Lima, Brisbane)
Yes there are 7 90nm architectures. Take a look at the Core
microarchitecture (box) in the Intel chart. See how they have two layers
stacked inside the box? The top layer is Conroe and wolfdale, the
bottom layer is kentsfield and yorkfield. I want you to do the same
thing here. Both layers are inside the K8 box.
Top Layer: Empty, Empty, Empty, Toledo/Manchester (90nm), Windsor (90nm), Brisbane (65nm)
Bottom layer: Sledgehammer (130nm), Clawhammer/Newcastle (130nm),
Winchester (90nm), San Diego/Venice (90nm), Orleans (90nm), Lima (65nm)
This will get you down to 3 slots at the 90nm manufacturing process
instead of 7. Each layer will have 6 slots (counting the empty slots). I
would advise from here on out that you ignore the part right below the
microarchitecture name where I list everything by manufacturing process
and skip to the part where I list the layers since it's less confusing
to read it by layer.
K10
65nm (Agena, Toliman, Kuma)
45nm (Thuban, Zosma, Deneb, Heka, Callisto, Propus, Rana, Regor, Sargas)
40nm Nothing, just draw a line through it
32nm (Llano (A8), Llano (A6), Llano (A4), Llano (E2))
Once again you would have 9 names in one manufacturing process if you
did it as a single layer. This one will be broken into 5 layers.
Top Layer: Empty, Thuban (45nm), Empty
Upper Middle: Agena (65nm), Deneb/Zosma/Propus (45nm), Llano (A8) (32nm)
Middle: Toliman (65nm), Heka/Rana (45nm), Llano (A6) (32nm)
Lower Middle: Kuma (65nm), Callisto/Regor (45nm), Llano (A4) (32nm)
Bottom: Empty, Sargas (45nm), Llano (E2) (32nm)
Make sure to list Llano (A4) for example instead of just Llano. I know it's confusing with the two sets of parenthesis.
Bulldozer
32nm (Zambezi, Vishera, Trinity)
28nm (Excavator, Kaveri)
Two layers.
Top Layer: Zambezi (32nm), Vishera (32nm), Excavator (28nm)
Bottom layer: Empty, Trinity (32nm), Kaveri (28nm)
Bobcat
40nm (Desna, Ontario, Zacate, Hondo, Brazos 2.0)
32nm Nothing, just draw a line through it
28nm (Kabini, Temash)
3 layers.
Top Layer: Zacate (40nm), Brazos 2.0 (40nm), Kabini (28nm)
Middle Layer: Ontario (40nm), Empty, Kabini (28nm)
Bottom Layer: Desna (40nm), Hondo (40nm), Temash (28nm)
Now for the third and final stage. Remember that part where I told you
to get rid of the font color legend? I lied. Just like before the
microarchitecture names will be in grey font and the chip names will be
in black font. Make sure to include that on the font legend. Next I want
you to come up with 7 additional font colors of your choice. Now create
a font legend with the following 7 names:
Stars, Husky, Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller, Bobcat, Jaguar
Each one will be colored something different the same way the Intel flowchart had it.
Now color code the cooresponding chip names.
First go to the K10 box.
Everything in the first column (slot) and second column will be stars. Everything in the third column is husky.
Now go to the bulldozer box.
The first column is bulldozer. The second column is piledriver. The third column is steamroller.
Now the Bobcat box.
First and second column are bobcat. Third column is jaguar.
Now you're finally done.
