The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
www.tweaktown.com COMPUTEX Taipei 2010 – Now this is pretty cool people. We just saw that AMD spoke about its Fusion APU chips at its Computex 2010 press conference, during it at the end Rick surprised us a little by giving attending press the worlds first public demo of Fusion APU actually up and running. Not only though was it running, but it was running Aliens vs Predator in DX11 mode with rather impressive visuals. It was interesting that Rick noted that only last fall did AMD showcase this same game at one of its DX11 press conference, but already they have the APU silicon working in what we would consider a seemingly fairly advanced state.

I bet if the APU was invented first then someone would of came up with CPU and GPU ppl would be like OMG Games faster won’t have to change the f’ing chip every time I need to upgrade.
@REVLEX321
-the "ve" after I. >_<
Graphics demonstration?
All Ive saw was a slideshow…
I hope games don’t run at that framerate, because otherwise i dont see any other use rather than playing old games.
@RATSHADY
No idea.
Llano seems like it’ll come maybe around halfway through 2011.
Maybe the ones in netbooks/low powered laptops early 2011.
That’s my guess.
@Logan9773 The performance of sandybridge is apparently similar to an ATI Radeon 4850, while AMD’s shown in this video is somewhere between the 5670 and 5770 for performance. (About equal with each other). It’s no where near as fast as a dedicated, high-end GPU, but I agree, it’s very impressive and will only get better.
When is the APU going to be released cus I’m working on my next pc build?
@cagadaman
Yeah I hear you, obviously there’s a lot about GPUs doing more than games these days.
Still, for HD content, you’d want a big screen so……a PS3 wins I guess.
If you care about super serious multitasking you’d want a powerful CPU and powerful GPU, much more than the netbooks are capable of. Core i7 + 5770 or something, and for serious gaming.
I suppose there’s some people out there who want to do more with a netbook though.
@Usul573
The purpose of these APU’s is not to show off their gaming prowess and that’s exactly what makes these videos so exciting.
Listen, the point to this is not to say "hey look, FINALLY we can play games on our netbooks!". Like you said, that wouldn’t any fun. The point is more along the lines of "hey, your netbook can actually multitask now and play HD content without breaking a sweat…and if you WANT to, you can even play some games and still maintain long battery life."
@Usul573
What am I even talking about anyway?
Who buys a Netbook for gaming? What’s the point of any of this?
The only way gaming on a netbook could be any fun is if you plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse/gamepad, put at the point forget it, might as well get a PS3 or 360 real cheap.
@cagadaman
So the writer knows that it’s Ontario……….by magic lol
I mean Ion has a 3DMark06 score of about 1,200, and at minimum settings can have a COD4 framerate in the 20s. Ontario I wonder, if Zacate is a bit faster than Intel HD graphics, then Ontario might be just about as powerful. Which…….might be good for a netbook.
@Usul573
Google "PC Perspective Computex first APU demo" and read click on the first link. The author mentions the APU in this video being Bobcat core based.
Still though can’t be too sure though, like you said. Same goes with release dates, these things always get delayed. I think Zacate/Ontario APU’s along with Bulldozer CPU’s will be out way before Llano. 2012 is the year to be excited about though, Trinity will hopefully be out by then. Quad-core, Bulldozer based APU’s anyone?
@cagadaman
Hmm, llano is going to be energy efficient too of course.
If you type in "amd llano avp" there’s a lot about llano running AVP on google, but "amd zacate avp" doesn’t seem to turn up much.
I’m as interested in all of this as someone can be, and I’m trying to get as solid of information on it as I can, but they’re being a little vague at times and really driving the hype machine.
Can’t be sure till it comes out.
January for zacate/ontario, mid 2011 for llano?
@cagadaman
How do we even know this is Zacate?
Anatech benchmarked Zacate and it did a bit faster than Intel HD graphics in Batman Arkam Asylum, about 5 FPS faster.
So could it do AVP well with DX11 features turned on?
The APU used in this video is codenamed "Zacate" or the AMD E-350 as it has been recently crowned. It’s a 1.6GHz dual core, 18W chip designed to compete against low end Atoms, Pentiums and Celerons in the $299-$549 PC market. The intergrated GPU is an 80 stream processor, 500MHz Radeon 6310.
These specs alone aren’t particularly impressive. What IS impressive is how AMD managed to squeeze all of this into a low-power, ultra efficient design AND run a game it has no business running.
Dear Mr. Bergman,
Your presentation makes this awesome product uncool. I personally think APU could have been as exciting as iPhone 4. Look. You’re a powerful, extremely capable, successful man. I understand everyone likes hearing himself talking. But everyone has to know his place. Public speech is *not* your forte. Minimize it.
Your internal brown nosers at AMD won’t tell you this: Please try to speak standard American English. When you say "action", you sound like an Ebonics speaker.
@rubini94 First of all, i have never seen a really expensive amd CPU, so i believe it will be in its cost range as usual.
Second, this represent a big performance increase in laptops the space earned by the lack of a middle/high end card will get alot, so as long as this is a laptop matter, this will be awesome.
And last, an i7 EE is now arround $1k, so how can you compare it to any amd CPU? i know I7 performance is way better, but there is no price comparison…
@MegaCasualgamer Lucky to be running at all… Sadly that was probably the best it can run, cause they didn’t show a whole lot. The whole goal is to be able to have graphics power, but stand alone. I think this is their solution to nVidia’s ION processor.
this AVP demo was running in like 12 frames per secold lmfao
For sure there’s plenty of Apus in AMD. LMAo!! "Tank’yoo Cam’again"!!
apu?
@simvegas
Apparently, Llano has 500 GFLOPS for the graphics, which is slightly lower than a 5570 which is a $70 card right now.
So it’s obviously nothing earth shattering for graphics performance but it’ll be interesting to see every part of fusion thoroughly benchmarked.
what i really dont understand is why would someone buy a superexpensive cpu/gpu together, and after 2 years, change it cos something better came out. Really, if i would buy a computer now, and would have as much moneys that i need, i would Chose an Intel i7 Extreme edition, mixed up with nvideo latest gtx graphic, because they support 3d. Now someone can tell me why i should buy this amd fusion thing, when i can buy the pc that i can upgrate later, and it will cost less to upgrate.
