The characteristics of APU and its difference from CPU

AMD on the Intel's popular I series of serious design defects and a large number of recalls, launched its new generation of notebook processor processing chip APU quickly into the market, one at a time from the media, public opinion, received a lot of praise.

AMD released the so-called APU (accelerated processing Units, Chinese name is called acceleration) its biggest bright spot is from 05 experts predicted that the CPU (central) and GPU (graphics processor, is the video card chip) together with the combination of a chip. Quote AMD Senior Vice President of Technology Division general manager Chekibakrout Words is "the best CPU and the best GPU composed of APU" processor processor

Highlight one: relative to the improvement of CPU performance

This APU, produced by AMD, revolutionized the use of multi-core processors and monolithic cores on a single chip, boosting communication between the CPU and the GPU. At the same time, the GPU and memory can also communicate directly, bandwidth increased by three times times. But the perfect fusion CPU in the complex sequence computation and the GPU in the large-scale parallel computation double advantage after the hardware scheduling logic and the software layer perfectly balanced the CPU and the GPU load makes the APU phase to the current multi-core CPU the performance to have the obvious enhancement.

Highlight two: Display effect seconds kill integrated video card shoulder ratio alone

The e-series of the first listed APU is equipped with the AMD Radeon HD6310 display core that supports DX11, and the C-series also carries the display core of the same support DX11. The three times-fold increase in bandwidth between the GPU and the memory and the accelerated calculation of the mainstream software manufacturers make APU's data operation and 3D rendering effect a leap. In the current notebook computer market mainstream integrated graphics card in front of it all become cloud ~ and the mainstream entry-level independent graphics card.

Highlight three: Ultra-low power consumption, minimum 9W, maximum 18W

The introduction of the APU to a change of AMD's CPU in front of the public left the impression of high power consumption, subversive implementation of the minimum 9W (C Series) the highest 18W (E series) experience performance. Let the notebook computer's endurance greatly increased, and relatively indirect to achieve the national energy conservation and emission reduction policy support.
