AMD seeks to put non-x86 accelerators into silicon APU marchitecture to combine more than CPU and GPU By Theo Valich: Wednesday 12 September 2007, 09:57 DURING YESTERDAY’S BRIEFING about technical and strategical decisions with Barcelona processors, the conversation turned into discussion about future features, the most notable mention being the future Fusion series. When talking about future products, AMD execs told us that the company opened up the architecture in more ways than one. A senior AMD exec was talking about how company is planning to expand its partnering strategy, with Torrenza coming first, and Fusion following later. Selected partnering companies are now developing products that will come to market during the 2008 and 2009 timeframe, most notably through the HTX expansion slot or simply Opteron processor Socket - but this is not the only way situation will evolve. DAAMIT sees the future silicon as "lego bricks", putting different cores into different processors. AMD did not detail the brand names of these Lego CPUs, but the APU (Accelerated-Processing Unit) concept is rather interesting. Graphics are not the only thing that could be integrated into Fusion processors either. While notebooks and desktops are poised to get graphics, the situation is rather different in the enterprise segment. The integration of several specialised units was discussed, and if customers start demanding non-x86 units like java application accelerators or similar network processors, AMD might plan to deliver many more features in CPU silicon than originally expected... theinquirer.org
