Computex: AMD demos low power Fusion APU, announces Fusion Fund

[news 28]

At Computex 2010 in Taipei this morning AMD held the first public

demonstration of a Fusion-based APU (accelerated processing unit): the

combination of a traditional CPU and GPU architecture on a single

monolithic die. The pairing of high performance serial processing units

and parallel graphics processing cores provides the potential for a

dramatic shift in the computing and system marketplace.

Quote: "Specifics were light, but I do know that the APU being shown was

not the desktop variant built on 32nm technology but rather was the 40nm

Ontario core built at TSMC and aimed at the Atom markets. AMD obviously

feels they have a strong advantage in this market with the APU as they are

putting focus on it rather than the Llano-based notebook and desktop parts

that were originally billed to be the first Fusion parts available."

 

Thanks for a news post!
