The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
At Computex 2010, we showed the world that AMD Fusion APUs are no longer just an idea on paper. An AMD Fusion APU — delivers powerful CPU and GPU capabilities for HD, 3D and data-intensive workloads in a single-die processor. In this video we show how an AMD Fusion APU accelerates Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and Office 2010 applications.

Where have i seen this guy before???

Long time ago…. there is only CPU,
Later, people invented something call gpu,
Now… CPU and gpu come back to 1 thing ….. wtf
@tozers20 It will probably depend on what GPU the APU you got is using and what GPU your discrete has.
you don’t need a fusion core to do what he did……i can run that just as well on my su4100…..
AMD …make your drivers open source…..please
#1 question: is APU will also increase the performance of integrated graphics or discrete card too? like APU+discrete
#question2: if you answer no then AMD SUCKS.
he has man boobs hanging
AMD FTW!
AMD Is real good but i would like them to make
motherboards.
@aussiebear22 well, Zacate did even (clearly) beat the i5 when it came to frames per second on Arkham Asylum and Alien vs Predator. now keep in mind that Zacate uses the low-power Bobcat architechture. and with Llano using (probably quad-core) Phenom I would not call it lower-mainstream…
Best thing these guys did was obtian ATI.
What a goal the red team have acheaved
Thanks AMD!
@aussiebear22 No, I understand the models just fine. My question is how can you get good performance form a discrete card?
@BlakStrakt
Ontario/Zacate or Radeon HD 54xx => Budget market.
Llano or Radeon HD55xx/56xx = Lower-mainstream market.
Radeon HD 57xx = Upper-mainstream market.
Radeon HD 58xx/59xx = Performance/Enthusiast market.
As for your 2nd question, we don’t know until AMD provides more details on drivers. (In an APU the entire northbridge+GPU is now on-die with the processor cores. They only need a southbridge chip. Llano/Ontario/Zacate will use the same "Hudson" series southbridge chipset.)
@aussiebear22 How will the upper-end GPU work very well as a discrete card? Also, will there be any motherboards that can take advantage of an APU AND a PCIE slot-type GPU card simultaneously? Or is that just superfluous?
@BlakStrakt…I think it went like this.
Mid-2006: AMD buys ATI.
Mid-2007: AMD "Falcon" series (APUs: Bulldozer-based 10W to 100W; and Bobcat-based 1W to 10W.)
End of 2007: AMD "Swift" (Bulldozer core replaced by K10-based…Bulldozer V1 failed.)
End of 2008: AMD changes roadmap. Far less aggressive than the original "Falcon" approach. "Swift" is scrapped due to extremely poor yields.
@BlakStrakt Bobcat cores are used in both "Ontario" (9W TDP) and "Zacate" (18W TDP)…AMD has recently demo’ed a prototype platform based on "Zacate". The initial numbers against the Intel notebook were actually with OEM drivers. Anandtech(.)com was allowed to correct it by "force installing" the latest Intel drivers. (AMD allowed this!) … Even when the Intel solution matched the AMD one, it showed that "Zacate" was able to offer equal experience compared to the more expensive Intel solution.
AMD FTW
@aussiebear22 the "Ontario" has been released as the Bobcat, and the "Llano" core will be called Bulldozer. They are incredibly powerful. Check Endgadget(.)com to see a Bobcat APU beating down on a poor Intel Core i5 with Intel graphics. In the demo game, Intel never goes above25fps, and averages around 19. The AMD APU, however, never dips below 28fps and averages around 40. That was the netbook variant, so you can see how effective these cores are.
