AMD's Next CPU Architecture Will Be Completely Different?

Vague quotes from sales and marketing staff aren't always the best things to analysing when playing guesswork on upcoming technology, but AMD's Giuseppe Amato is quoted as telling Custom PC when refering to the company's next generation architecture "...it will definitely not be, how can I say, comparable with the Phenom. It will look completely different." Cue wild speculation, plus a slight wondering of how 'different' things will really be. Other news from AMD today is that apparently there are over 100 designs being developed based on its new Puma laptop platform for delivery come June and hybrid graphics seem to be high on the list of claimed plus points there. As we all know by now, competition is good so lets hope AMD can provide some of the stiff variety.
