A newly leaked AMD Server Roadmap has detailed AMD's Next Generation Dublin and Macau Processors. The 32nm SOI based would arrive in 2013 and would feature upto 10 - 20 Bulldozer Cores.

The current Server oriented chips (Valencia and Interlagos) consist of 4-12 Cores and would be released on September 29th as we detailed a few moments ago here. These chips would be replaced by Sepang (10 Cores) and Terramar which would feature a whooping 20 Bulldozer Enhanced Cores.

The high-end Terramar and Dublin (20 Core chips) would be compatible with G2012 server platform code-named Porto which features Quad Channel DDR3 memory interface and also PCI-e 3.0 support while the 10 Core based Macau and Sepang would be compatible with C2012 (Codenamed Luxembourg) platform featuring Triple Channel memory controller and PCI-e 3.0 support.

Also the 2013 chips would feature the next generation bulldozer architecture which would provide a significant performance boost over the 2012's Enhanced Platform without the need for increasing the x86 Bulldozer cores.
