First APU will begin mass production in the second half

AMD: not simply to save a piece of two chips (reporter Giolikun) through the 64-bit, dual-core, multi-core and other aspects of the technical contest, computer chip in the field of the most cutting-edge technology arms race a new position has been formed.　　AMD yesterday released the latest product roadmap, which most of the industry's concern is that its CPU and GPU integrated into a piece of silicon (known as Apu), the first fruit will be fruition. AMD Senior Vice President and Technical Division general Manager Chekib Akrout, who visited China yesterday, disclosed that AMD is fully developing the first APU named Liano, the second half began to mass production, and will be officially listed next year.　　It is reported that Liano will adopt 32 nanometer process, mainly for notebook computer and desktop computer two major markets. We are not unfamiliar with the CPU, and the GPU refers to the graphics processor, its position in the computer more and more attention, such as playing 3D games can not be separated from it. AMD had the idea of a combination of the two as early as seven years ago, but the technical conditions were immature.　　AMD has been implementing this vision since it successfully acquired ATI, the world's top GPU maker, three years ago.　　Coincidentally, in Intel's recent release of the new core products, its desktop Core i3 processor for the first time to integrate graphics chips in the processor package, using a dual-chip solution. Chekib Akrout stressed that APU is not simply to save two chips, but to overcome a lot of technical difficulties. He even said that at present only AMD's fusion technology can do this.　　In its description, APU not only needs the best CPU, GPU products and optimization technology, but also with special design technology to achieve. APU is currently the most heavily regarded AMD products.　　The biggest bright spot of AMD's restructuring of the global organization last year was that it focused on a department-product division, with display chips and microprocessor products and chip design, paving the way for integration with the CPU and GPU backstage. What can APU bring to consumers? In its description, APU will bring more powerful computing power, more realistic display, smaller energy consumption, longer battery life, and more.
