AMD’s officially launch the new Llano APU platform in July worldwide, and BIOSTAR is releasing three mainboards that supports this new platform at the same time...
At Computex last week, AMD displayed an IHS that could be a fully functional Bulldozer APU code named 'Trinity'. Details have now emerged that the APU to replace Llano in 2012, could be packing some serious punch with up to 2 billion transistors.
A new AMD roadmap has been seen that pitches the expected market position of their coming Bulldozer CPUs and Llano APUs. While that in it's self is enough to speculate on price/performance vs Intel's Sandy Bridge, there seems to be a surprise lurking in the darkest part of the year.
AMD Fusion technology, named “Best in Show” at Embedded Systems Conference, is available for full-featured, fanless embedded systems in as little as 5.5W
Intel will be bumping up the speeds of the future Atom 'Cedarview' SoC to be more competitive against AMD's Fusion APUs for small form factors and netbooks. Speeds of the D2000 series are set to hit over 2GHz and are set to be released Q4 2011.
While AMD's Fusion APUs are out in the form of low power Bobcat cores in netbooks, ITX and mATX form factors, Llano will be their APU to serve notebooks and desktops. The latest information reveals why the graphics solution presented makes for a far better balanced system and makes it much more suited for the mainstream market compared to Intel's latest offerings
