AMD Brings Out Fusion APU In Public For The First Time

If you haven’t heard of it, AMD next-generation microprocessor design is unlike nothing they have produced before. Just like its name - AMD Fusion - the new design combines CPU and GPU into a single-die processor that the company dubbed accelerated processing units (APUs). The new APU – expected to be out in 2011 - has yet to be shown in public until recently at the 6th Annual AMD Technical Forum & Exhibition 2010.
In what to be its first public demo, the codenamed “Llano” APU was shown to calculate the value of Pi to 32 million decimal places, decoding HD video from Blu-Ray disc and running Microsoft’s nBody DirectCompute application; all at the same time without any problem. While we reserve our judgment (as usual) until the real thing are released into the market, you can check out a short clip of the demonstration - right after the jump - for a glimpse of AMD's future microprocessor.
