Bobcat is a processor codenamed and designed by AMD. The processor's existence was revealed during a speech from AMD executive vice-president Henri Richard in Computex 2007 held in Taiwan, no specific release dates was given but rumours and speculations forecast a post-2008 launch.
The Bobcat processor is a very simplified x86 CPU core aiming at low power x86 processing with TDP value between 1 to 10 W, together with low voltage operation, the processor was aimed at consumer electronic markets. According to Dave Orton (previous executive vice-president of AMD), Bobcat would make its debut in UMPC devices, OLPC devices, handheld devices, and other small form factor devices.
According to AMD roadmaps in latest presentations, the Bobcat processor will be incorporated together with GPU cores into processors under the codenamed "Fusion" label . This is similar in concept with earlier AMD research in 2003, detailing the specifications and advantages of extending x86 "everywhere".
