Note: The report drops many a name.
(a) AMD Fusion

(the marketing name for a series of APUs by AMD)

(b) A summary table, gleaned from Wiki, with regard to names mentioned in the report:

Platform (year)..........Codenames....................................................Process
Brazos (2011)...........Ontario, Zacate (both launched)....................40nm Bulk
Lynx (2011)..............Llano (launched)............................................32nm SOI
Deccan (2012)..........Krishna, Wichita (both canceled before).........28nm Bulk
Virgo (2012).............Trinity..............................................................32nm SOI

Bulldozer and Bobcat: 32-nm CPU
(c) The bloom is off the rose: "the excitement, enjoyment, interest, etc., has ended or been dampened."

(another idiom in this web page: "take the bloom off, to remove the enjoyment or ultimate satisfaction from; dampen the enthusiasm over: The coach's illness took the bloom off the team's victory.")
