At Computex 2010,AMD delivered the first public demonstration of an AMD Fusion processor,initiating the accelerated processing era.
The AMD FusionTM Family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) represents a significant shift in processor architecture and capabilities,combining high-performance serial computing and parallel graphics processing cores onto a single die to improve visual and data-intensive tasks that are pervasive in todays computing environments.
Rick Bergman,senior vice president and general manager,AMD Products Group,provided an APU technology demonstration during a press conference today. This demonstration provided a sneak peek into the upcoming seismic shift in the computing industry: power-efficient processors that combine CPU,GPU,video processing and other accelerator capabilities in a single-die design to efficiently power the most popular and demanding consumer experiences,from HD video applications to media-rich Internet experiences to DirectX® 11 games.
The AMD Fusion Family of APUs represent a distinctly powerful processing approach to the evolving digital consumer landscape,where more than 28 billion videos are watched each month online and a thousand pictures are uploaded to social networking sites every second.
