APU era begins in India
AMD has launched the AMD Fusion Family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), a single-die design that combines the multi-core CPU (x86) technology with the powerful DirectX 11-capable graphics and a parallel processing engine. The APU also includes a dedicated high-definition video acceleration block and a high-speed bus that speeds data across the differing types of processor cores within the same design.
Over 11 AMD Fusion-based systems will be launched in India in the first half of 2011 from the leading manufacturers, including Sony, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, MSI and Toshiba, which will deliver AMD Fusion APU-based systems at very compelling value and mainstream price points.
A 90-member team from AMD's Research and Development Team in Hyderabad played a significant role in the design and development of the microprocessors, Fusion SoCs (System on Chips), graphics and media solutions.
"AMD Fusion marks a monumental shift in computing performance, experience and possibilities because of the powerful combination of CPUs and discrete-level GPUs," said Ravi Swaminathan, Managing Director & Regional Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, AMD India, at the launch in Bangalore. "AMD Fusion will eliminate the need for consumers to choose between power and performance enabling exciting new computing experiences at price points that offer tremendous value. This will also allow our partners to offer exciting new form factors on a robust computing platform."
