AMD, at its sixth annual Technical Forum and Exhibition (TFE), showcased for its ecosystem partners the first public demonstration of the forthcoming AMD Fusion accelerated processing unit (APU) codenamed Llano, designed for notebooks, ultra-thin notebook and desktops.
AMD followed into Intel’s footsteps and launched their six-core processors as well. However, they used a completely different approach: AMD decided not to switch to new manufacturing process or develop a completely new semiconductor die. However, as a result we got a Phenom II X6 – a mainstream and affordable processor with six computational cores that has no analogues and is compatible with Socket AM3 form-factor.
