Sounds like AMD's SkyBridge is for ARM (Cortex-A57 and "K12") and x86 what Freescale's Layerscape is for ARM (Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A57) and PPC.
Personally, I think the most interesting thing here is that unlike the AMD Opteron A-Series of processors (which targets
server applications), the Skybridge seems to be where AMD is introducing ARM to
client applications markets for the first time. And they are making it
interchangeable with their next generation x86 Puma+ chips, which is interesting in more than one way IMHO.
And the "K12" is definitely a sign of determination and longevity in their ARM effort; to start developing their own 64-bit ARM core(s) that (presumably) will go way beyond the Cortex-A57, pretty much like Apple did. They will probably package the "K12" core(s) in both server and client CPU chips when its done...
Looking forward to see more info about this!
