However, I would imagine that AMD will look at least a year ahead in November. I would strongly suspect that they will include both the late 2009 Fusion release for Mobile and the Magny Cours release in early 2010 with G3MX. If AMD truly is going to move to HKMG on 45nm I would expect them to mention this as well.
