Phenom II, Athlon II: It will be completely gone next year

Both bulldozers and Fusion APUs bear the hope of AMD for the future, and the promotion efforts are unprecedented. However, the existing AM3 platform Phenom II and Athlon II series will naturally yield quickly.

According to AMD's latest shipping plans, the proportion of Phenom II and Athlon II series shipments will shrink sharply this year. Phenom II will be less than 5% in the third quarter, and will disappear in the fourth quarter, once occupying the absolute main position of Athlon. In the second half of the year, II will also continue to fall below 20% and below 10%, and will bid farewell to the beginning of next year.

E series low-power APU debuted at the beginning of this year, and the proportion of shipments has been steadily increasing. It will basically stabilize at around 15% in the second half of this year and early next year. The debut single-core model E-240 will be delisted in the fourth quarter of this year, giving way to the new dual-core E-300; dual-core E-350 will slowly give up the position to the faster E-450.

A series of high-performance APUs (actually including the E2 series) began to be shipped in small volumes in the second quarter of this year. By the third quarter, they will be comparable to Athlon II. By the beginning of next year, they will approach 70% and become AMD's new main force.

The bulldozer architecture has a lot more attention than the APU, but it is for high-end players and enthusiasts, so the FX series will not have a lot of shipments. It will be around 15% at the end of the year and early next year, slightly higher than the Phenom of the year. II. Interestingly, this plan shows that bulldozers will be shipped in large quantities in the second quarter, but it is clear that AMD did not do this, so I believe that this form is an earlier forecast and may now be adjusted.
