AMD's Fusion CPU + GPU Will Ship This Year
mr_sifter writes "Intel might have beaten AMD to the punch with a CPU featuring a built-in GPU, but it relied on a relatively crude process of simply packaging two separate dies together. AMD's long-discussed Fusion product integrates the two key components into one die, and the company is confident it will be out this year — earlier than had been expected."
Intel doesn't make graphics, how could you say that the non-existent graphics are shit? Game's have graphics that are rendered by processors, and AMD + intel are rendering the same graphics as each other for any game.
I feel bad for feeding this obvious troll, but I find it surprising that this was modded up as insightful.
AMD had a better architecture at the times of Athlon and Intel made "netburst" architecture, the name makes users believe that it bursts internet surfing. It was 30 stages pipeline, because it could go up with MHz and so it was good to make users think "more MHz, better cpu" (like when people buys stereos, more Watts=better sound. Yuck.) AMD was the first to release dual core desktop processors, but Intel preceded AMD with dual core Pentium 4: two single-core dies on one package. AMD was the first to release quad core desktop processors, but Intel preceded AMD with quad cores: two dual-core dies on one package. Now it is the same story with CPU+GPU. The bad thing here is that all this is done with the complicity of magazines and hardware review websites around the world.
