Amd finally announced A-series APU

Postby duckula » June 14th, 2011, 4:11 am

AMD today announced the next generation in mainstream consumer computing with the availability of the new high-performance AMD Fusion A-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). Enabling truly immersive computing experiences in consumer notebooks and desktops, the AMD A-Series APUs enable brilliant HD graphics, supercomputer-like performance and over 10.5 hours of battery life.

In an increasingly digital and visually oriented world, consumers are placing ever-higher priorities on multitasking, vivid graphics, lifelike games, lag-free videos, and ultimate multimedia performance. To meet these needs, the AMD A-Series APUs combine up to four x86 CPU cores with powerful DirectX 11-capable discrete-level graphics and up to 400 Radeon cores along with dedicated HD video processing on a single chip. AMD A-Series APUs also allow for advanced capabilities such as gestural interfaces, multi-monitor support, 3D entertainment and real-time image stabilization.

No idea about when these processors will hit the market. Pretty much like a paper announcement...

Yeah, I was sure they would be. AMD wouldn't be stupid enopugh to make an x86 32bit processor in this day and age. I was probably a bit vague, but I meant that they should have said that in the article, since the term "x86" generally refers to 32bit.
