AMD has revealed its newest Opteron roadmap which included details regarding Toronto APU/CPU, Cambridge CPU as well as AMD's recently revealed Carrizo APU, scheduled for 2015.

According to the showed roadmap, AMD will be sticking to Opteron 6300 and 4300 series based on Piledriver architecture until 2015, at least when 2P/4P servers are concerned. Earlier this year AMD detailed Berlin APU based on the same architecture design as the Kaveri APUs, so we will be looking at four Steamroller CPU cores as well as AMD's R7 series IGPs based on Sea Islands architecture, or something similar to the Radeon HD 7790.

The list of revealed details includes a fact that the A10-7850K and A10-7700K models will feature unlocked multiplier for while both server and consumer SKUs will support DDR3 memory, FM2+ and BGA sockets, Bolton SCH and HSA/HUMA optimizations as well as native PCI-Express 3.0 support. Depending on the targeted workload, Berlin will be available in both APU and CPU versions.

The details regarding Toronto chip are quite important as they reveal more details regarding AMD's 2015 APU, codename Carrizo. It will feature four Excavator CPU modular cores and while precise figures are still cloudy, rumors are talking about 30 percent improvement. The GPU part of the Toronto APU will feature Volcanic Islands GPU part. This means that we will most likely see AMD's Mantle, TrueAudio and OpenCL optimizations, which come with Hawaii GPU. The rest of the details include both DDR3 and DDR4 support and support for both native PCI-Express 3.0 and HSA.

AMD also revealed some interesting details regarding Seattle CPU aimed at 1P clusters which feature 4 to 8 ARM Cortex A57 cores as well as its successor in the form of Cambridge CPU which should replace Seattle in 2015 and bring 64-bit ARM cores.
