AMD Announces Fusion Family APUs

AMD announced the launch of its Fusion family of Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) processors at Consumer Electronics Show on Monday, Jaunuary 3.

The Fusion Family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) feature multi-core CPU and GPU on a single chip with dedicated high-definition video acceleration and a high-speed bus. The chips will facilitate stutter-free HD video playback, DirectX 11 graphics and all day battery life (10 hrs or more).

Desktops, notebooks and HD netbooks based on AMD Fusion APU are already available. Tablets and embedded designs based on AMD Fusion APUs are expected be available later in Q1 2011.

Fusion APU are the result of an initiative launched, following the merger between AMD and ATI, to move some of the processing originally done on the CPU (e.g. Floating Point Unit operations) to the GPU which is better optimized for such operations.

AMDs 2011 low power platform (formerly codenamed "Brazos") is available in two 40nm architecture APU variations: E-Series (Zacate) and C-Series (Ontario). These APUs feature the new x86 CPU core codenamed "Bobcat". "Bobcat" is AMD's first new x86 core since 2003 and was designed from the ground up to deliver stellar mobile performance.

The E-Series targets mainstream laptops, AIOs and small desktops . It generates18W TDP (Thermal Design Power) and features 1.6GHz dual-core (E-350) or 1.5GHz single-core (E-240) .

The C-Series targets HD netbooks and "other emerging form factors." It generates 9W TDP and features in the 1.0GHz dual-core (C-50) or 1.2GHz single core (C-30) .

Later, before the middle of 2011, AMD will launch the 32nm architecture A-Series "Llano" APU, with four cores and a DirectX 11-capable discrete-level GPU. The A-Series is designed for mainstream laptops.

The upcoming A-Series "Llano" APU will take full advantage of the parallel processing power of a GPU to give more more than 500 GFLOPs, bringing supercomputer-like performance to every day computing tasks.
