AMDs Chris Cloran demonstrates the Llano APU in Taipei at the 6th annual AMD Technical Forum and Exhibition. In the first public demonstration of Llano, Chris demonstrates simultaneous HD video playback, multi-threaded Pi calculation, and N-Body simulation utilizing the CPU and GPU cores.

    Please add a dedicated GDDR memory port on these parts. The GPU is relegated to SSE level performance. As OpenCL support takes off, will even having SSE onboard the CPU make sense? Why not just code all streaming/dsp applications in OpenCL and give that die real estate back to a UNIFIED GPU/CPU cache. Adding a good shared CPU/GPU cache is the best way AMD could differentiate themselves from NVidia. Keep shrinking the GPU processes!

    @gemini6179 thx for ur reply me too waiting for some thing like that hope when it gonna come out i not update my pc for more 6months if any more info plz do share veyr much wanted to know and thx for letting me about ati

    @tomyloveu Amd has already have something like that. It’s called ATI Hybrid Graphics. It’s where the integrated graphics chip is crossfire with a deticated graphics card to provide more power to graphics intensive things. I haven’t heard if it is included with the new Fusion APU though. As with Nvidia, they have something similar called Hybrid Sli but with Intel and Amd having their own graphics chip built into their cpus, I would doubt that their cards would work.

    It seems that when the Bobcat APU and Bulldozer CPU even be at the market, that intel for a long time, AMD no competition will be more. look similar example K7 up to K9 vs. Netburst!

    @Anusversagen
    You can even try it once at that company to register if you want to know about it :-) .

    i have a very wired question about this processor and sandy bridge they are combine of cpu and gpu my question is if i buy gtx 580 or 5870 will this 3 combine and give more power or ones i put gtx 580 or any other card this build in gpu inside processor will disable?? if that gonna happen then its normal cpu and waste of time and money so anyone explain me how it will work…. very confused on this…

    Pop in here to check out stuff for a build and For once, a page with no Whiny Fanboys. Smart discussions..for a change. Well done.

  8. comebackata2 says:

    hold on … is the n-body problem gpu or cpu intensive?

    if I understand this correctly … fusion makes cpu = gpu power in an all in one chip

    or

    are they 2 separate chips just communicating w/ each other extremely effectively w/ DX11 tech?

    So when the world learns to tap the horsepower of Llano, what are they going to do with it?

  10. aussiebear22 says:

    When I say: 2x to 3x performance advantage over Intel’s upcoming "Sandy Bridge" (LGA1155 version); I mean the IGP parts. Sandy Bridge’s IGP is like a Radeon HD 5450 in its 12 execution units (EU) version. (There’s also a slower 6 EU version.)

  11. aussiebear22 says:

    @KrayzieBone222
    500Gflops is approx like a Radeon HD 5570. That should give you an idea of what to expect. The market for the Llano APU is NOT the top end. Its to replace the current Athlon II series. But includes a GPU based IGP.

  12. aussiebear22 says:

    @usacomputertec
    You’ve completely missed the point. Have you seen AMD processor roadmaps?
    * Phenom II will be replaced by Bulldozer.
    * Athlon II will be replaced by Llano APU.

    Llano brings the performance of an US$80 video card as part of the processor! (It’ll be approx like a Radeon HD 5570 in its final form…For an IGP!)

    Can you do a quad-core CPU with $80 video card at 59W under full load? This is what Llano offers to the mainstream-affordable market.

  13. points2shopPROOF says:

    @aussiebear22 nice.

  14. aussiebear22 says:

    @points2shopPROOF
    You should be able to…500GFlops is slightly lower than a current generation Radeon HD 5570. It should result in 2x to 3x performance advantage over Intel’s upcoming "Sandy Bridge" (LGA1155 version).

    To the end user, it should deliver 30fps to 50fps at 1024×768 or 1280×1024 at "High quality" settings.

  15. TheMoo1231 says:

    @usacomputertec its for notebooks, why the hell is everyone so stuipid…

  16. TheMoo1231 says:

    @KrayzieBone222 you misunderstand, this is not targeted for the gamer/enthusiast user, this is for notebooks and mini-PC’s, not high end gaming systems. Thats what "Bulldozer" will be for, it will have 8 cores an will be out in 2011 (socket AM3+)

  17. KiranGlitch says:

    100%??? Thats using a quarter of the whole APU unit! But, it is still using all of the fist CPU and that is worrying

  18. KrayzieBone222 says:

    who cares about running Crysis, can this chip do Folding@home while running Metro 2033 with full tessellation? That’s the questions we should asking

  19. renkinjutsu01 says:

    @usacomputertec What about power consumption? Is that not a reason?

  20. sangresjz says:

    @youssef0eddoumali yes

  21. points2shopPROOF says:

    Can you play crysis with this?

  22. usacomputertec says:

    @IrishTopgun12 $30 for the PCI Express video card and a little more for the CPU and I’d get better results. I use AMD but there is no reason to buy a CPU like this.

  23. youssef0eddoumali says:

    did he said 500 Gflops?

  24. radicalgarbage02 says:

    @schmidtbag Quite literally, whatever makes you feel better! :)
