At Computex 2010 AMD delivered the first public demonstration of an AMD Fusion processor, initiating the accelerated processing era. The AMD Fusion Family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) represents a significant shift in processor architecture and capabilities, combining high-performance serial computing and parallel graphics processing cores onto a single die to improve visual and data-intensive tasks that are pervasive in today’s computing environments. A video of today’s demonstration can be found here.
Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, AMD Products Group, provided an APU technology demonstration during a press conference at Computex. This demonstration provided a sneak peek into the upcoming seismic shift in the computing industry: power-efficient processors that combine CPU, GPU, video processing and other accelerator capabilities in a single-die design to efficiently power the most popular and demanding consumer experiences, from HD video applications to media-rich Internet experiences to DirectX 11 games.
