How AMD will seek to limit Intel’s Core chip success

jmke · 3rd August 2007, 14:21

AMD’s Fusion program will bring its CPU and GPU together at the silicon level - all on one piece of silicon. The company has said that its Fusion chips will see use in “laptops, desktops, workstations and servers, as well as in consumer electronics and solutions tailored for the unique needs of emerging markets.” The chip maker has claimed that its Fusion chips will: “Deliver step-function improvements in microprocessor performance-per-watt-per-dollar over today’s CPU-only architectures”. For the workstation and server markets, package level integrated versions (MCM) may be brought to market first, as the late 2008 or early 2009 arrival of the first Fusion device, which the company has said will launch in laptops first, is too far off.
