No Single-Thread Boosters for Dual-Core Chips from AMD
 

The code-named K8L chips are to debut in 2H 2007 or 1H 2008, which, will mean that the K8 micro-architecture will be afloat for five long years. It is unclear, what will succeed the K8L, but it is obvious that the latter would live for at least a year or even two. It is logical to assume that after the project K8L, the K9 finally emerges. Given that microprocessor micro-architectures live for five-six years, the successor of the K9 – presumably, K10 – should emerge sometimes in 2014 – 2015, nearly a decade from now.
