AMD has released an updated roadmap and in 2011 AMD promises the new Scorpius platform, something that should replace Leo, a Phenom-based platform.
Scorpius is powered by Zambezi processors that will feature up to 8 Bulldozer CPU cores, and this definitely means that six and quad-core versions of bulldozer are possible.
Bulldozer will support DDR3 memory, it's 32nm and it comes with L3 cache, but at this point, AMD didnt want to disclose how much. The interesting part is that it will support AM3r2 socket, that indicates it should be similar to AM3 that we use today, but you still might need an updated motherboard to support it.
The chipset that will support the new processors is AMD 890FX/GX+SB850, and it should appear by the middle of next year.
