AMD A-Series Llano APU Sabine Notebook Platform Review

[news 28]

Five years later, and by most accounts more than a couple of years

late, the new AMD that now sans-manufacturing facility is ready to

release the first mainstream APU, Accelerated Processing Unit. While

the APU name is something that the competition hasn't adopted, the

premise of a CPU/GPU combination processing unit is not just the

future, it is the present as well.

Quote: "Since competing with Intel on processor performance is out of

the question, this entire platform instead must rely on its graphics

performance and its portability. Fortunately, these are two areas

where Llano shows great strength. Even with dual graphics disabled,

the APU was capable of out-performing IntelÂ’s current HD 3000 IGP by a

significant margin."

 

Thanks for a post!!
