AMD muestra APU Llano con núcleo Fusion
Por Jose Vilches y Erik Orejuela, TechSpot en EspañolPublicado: 19 de octubre del 2010.
AMD presentó algunos de las primeras muestras totalmente funcionales de su nuevo APU “Llano” durante un par de eventos para la prensa en Los Ángeles y Taiwán. La compañía no compartió detalles de velocidad o modelo, pero sin ningún problema mostraron a través de una breve demostración las capacidades multitasking del chip al reproducir un video de alta definición, una simulación DirectCompute y una instancia de cuatro via HyperPi todo al mismo tiempo.
La reproducción del video se desarrollo sin problemas a pesar que tanto la parte GPU como el CPU estaban bajo carga de manera simultánea. AMD también mostro un demo de Alien vs. Predator que corrió bastante bien bajo ajustes DirectX 11 y una modesta resolución 1024x768. Legit Reviews tiene algunas imágenes de la tabla de desarrollo que AMD uso en la demostración. Aunque no se les permitió mostrar el chip en si o imágenes detalladas de este, señalaron que corre bastante frio en comparación a otros procesadores.
Para los que no han escuchado del Llano es un producto “Fusion” de 32nm que consolida un procesador grafico DX11, cuatro núcleos basados en Phenom II y funciones Northbridge en un solo chip. Se espera que los primeros chips Llano este en nuestras computadoras de escritorio y portátiles para mediados del 2011 mientras que los primeros ofrecimientos Fusion de AMD, APUs Brazos basados en el núcleo Bobcat, supuestamente estarán listo para el mundo de las netbooks para la “primera mitad del 2011.”
AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series Specifications Leaked
Specifications of the upcoming Radeon HD 6800 series GPUs have already been doing rounds for the last couple of days, and ChipHell.com finally managed to leak an alleged press-deck of the HD 6800 series that discloses the GPUs' specifications and some key features that AMD will introduce with this generation. What can be said looking at the slides is that AMD seems to have stepped up performance/die-size big time (up to 35% increase in performance per mm²), with some reconfiguring of key components. It also redesigned the GPUs to have up to 100% increase in tessellation performance, new image-quality enhancements, a new video acceleration engine (UVD 3), and a redesigned display IO with 2nd Gen. Eyefinity technology that can let users of standard variants drive up to six displays with a single card.Specifications of the HD 6870 are: 1120 stream processors, 32 ROPs, 56 TMUs, 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface holding 1 GB, clock speeds of 900/1050(4200) MHz core/memory(effective), and idle/max board power of 19W/151W. For the HD 6850, it's 960 stream processors, 32 ROPs, 48 TMUs, 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface holding 1 GB, clock speeds of 775/1000(4000) MHz, idle/max board power of 19W/127W.

AMD’s Radeon HD 6800 Series & Llano “Fusion” APU: A Story in Pictures

AMD’s Radeon HD 6800 Series & Llano “Fusion” APU: A Story in Pictures
We happen to have the AMD Radeon HD 6870 and Radeon HD 6850 in-house for testing at the moment. We wanted to play Show & Tell, but the nice people from AMD’s Legal Department say that we’re not allowed to tell you anything about these cards quite yet. But they are letting us go ahead and show you the cards, so without further ado:

While we were at AMD’s latest press event to see the Radeon HD 6800 series, we also had the opportunity to take a quick look at an AMD prototype board housing a Llano APU. AMD is publically showcasing the Llano demo board at the AMD Technical Forum & Exhibition in Taiwan this week, which means we’re finally allowed to discuss what we saw.
At this point AMD isn’t telling us much about Llano. Besides being on a prototype board, we don’t know much else about the hardware other than that there was a Llano APU running on the board. We don’t know the clockspeeds of the CPU or the GPU, but as with most prototypes we’d imagine both are lower than they will be when it ships. AMD had the Llano prototype running Windows 7, and on top of that running the Alien vs. Predator rolling demo. The demo was running with its default quality settings at a resolution of 1024x768. The framerate wasn't being displayed, but we'd guesstimate it to be in the mid-to-high 20's; not quite high enough to be smooth, but you could probably play on it in a pinch.

Note: Llano is the chip under the copper pipped heatsink; that's not a NB/SB chip
And speaking of TFE and APUs, AMD is also showing off Zacate at the show, which we saw last month opposite to Intel's IDF.
