AMD Licenses ARM Technology: AMD Leans on ARM for Security

[news 28]

Last year after that particular AFDS, there was much speculation that

AMD and ARM would get a whole lot closer. Today we have confirmed

that in two ways. The first is that AMD and ARM are founding members

of the HSA Foundation. This endeavor is a rather ambitious project

that looks to make it much easier for programmers to access the full

computer power of a CPU/GPU combo, or as AMD likes to call them, the

APU. The second confirmation is one that has been theorized for quite

some time, but few people have actually hit upon the actual

implementation. This second confirmation is that AMD is licensing ARM

cores and actually integrating them into their x86 based APUs.
