Roadmap claim
According to a roadmap leaked by a Swedish forum, the desktop version of Bulldozer comes by April. Engineering samples of Zambezi AM3+ CPU are expected in December 2010 and hopefully this has already happened.
Production candidate 32nm silicon should be ready by February 2011 and the CPU should be production ready by March 2011.
The launch should take place in April, which is the first month of Q2 2011. Many people expected this CPU at a later date, and this up to 8-core processor series might be something to get AMD much needed traction and attention.

Zambezi Bulldozer
Like Mannheim Steamroller but with more edge (or more cheeze).
From Swedish AMD Forum:

This is exploiting Africans
More like just a die shrink but glad to see AMD always nipping at Intel’s heels. Looks like AMD spent Intel settlement money wisely or at least didn’t waste it. AMD needs to integrate those ATI cores on CPU dies to really piss Intel off.
Wish I could find a pic of the new die next to a quarter.
And here I thought this was about Caterpillar opening a factory in Africa.
