AMD Fusion Details Leaked

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the integrated-anything-scares-me dept.

negRo_slim writes "AMD has pushed Fusion as one of the main reasons to justify its acquisition of ATI. Since then, AMD's finances have changed colors and are now deep in the red, the top management has changed, and Fusion still isn't anything AMD wants to discuss in detail. But there are always 'industry sources' and these sources have told us that Fusion is likely to be introduced as a half-node chip."

    Great, we finally get cold fusion working (by a chip manufacturer? really?) and the first I hear of it, there's been a leak.

    Now we'll never get the NIMBY's to allows us to build fusion reactors.

    Maybe a chip with a huge amount of cache on it?

    Think of a chip with the CPU, GPU, 2-4GB of DDR5 (or more like DDR20 when it happens) cache on it.

    Someone more informed could say what the speed of the cache is. I just know that it is fast. If there was a chip with a few gig of this fast cache on it, it could make a nice system. Then again, it all depends on how it is implemented.
