AMD Fusion Review
Before we proceed towards the AMD Fusion review, let's take a look at the specifics and particulars of the AMD Fusion itself. AMD Fusion is the collective term used as a marketing nomenclature for a range of Accessing Processing Units. The development of this platform has been in news since the year 2006 when the fact that such a platform was under development was first announced. The final design which has been developed for the final consumer market is a joint venture between AMD and ATI Technologies. The most prominent highlight of the AMD Fusion is that it combines all the general processor execution functions, 3D geometry processing capabilities and all the other functions expected of any standard modern graphic processor unit within one single chip. A public demonstration of this path breaking technology was made at the Consumer Electronics Show that took place in January 2011. Now, let's take a look at what the AMD Fusion review has to say in terms of the utility and other benefits which have the potential of marking these APUs as some of the best AMD processors ever.
My Take on AMD Fusion
The AMD Fusion is meant for enhancing and optimizing the performance of desktops and laptops, be it for low-powered everyday computing purposes or hi-tech gaming needs of super quality graphics and commendable processing speed. The AMD Fusion Utility for PCs and desktops ensures a performance quality that is free of hitches and processing road blocks. One of its unique functions towards increasing processing speed is achieved by its temporary software shutdown feature. This feature helps optimize computing performance of your PC or desktop by shutting off all unnecessary processes or software for the time being to channelize maximum processing speed towards the active and necessary processes. And do you know the best thing about it? All this can be done at just the touch of a button! Optimally utilitarian, wouldn't you say?
Another great thing about the AMD Fusion APUs is that they retain the generic AMD feature of AllDay Power giving you the comfort of 10 hours battery life on an average. For mundane and regular standard computing purposes that require low power, the Brazos platform of related computer hardware is the ideal design for empowering your netbooks and PCs. This platform comes in 2 distinct series - the C-series and the E-series. The Llano platform, meant for powering conventional PC machines, desktops and laptops is expected to come out sometime around the third or fourth quarter of 2011. Also known as the A-Series, these APUs are expected to be equipped with around 4 x86 cores.
AMD Fusion Release Date
The AMD Fusion range of APUs has already been launched this January. However, various manufacturers and brands producing and marketing computing devices are contemplating to launch AMD Fusion laptops, PCs and desktops sometime near the middle and end of this year itself. The HP Pavilion dm1z series of laptops equipped with AMD Fusion APUs have already been launched and the AMD Fusion platform that this laptop uses is a dual-core 1.6GHz E350 Zacate along with an AMD Radeon HD 6310 GPU, both on a single chip. Both HP and AMD guarantee that these laptops have a battery life of at least 9 hours when fully charged.
From what press releases, demonstrations and spokespersons have to say, it seems that AMD has yet again come up with a product that Intel would have a tough time competing with, though it might, ultimately, as we have been seeing since the time these AMD vs Intel Processors war had begun! After going through the various AMD Fusion reviews on different media, it is quite clear that this range of APUs guarantees to give computing experience a complete overhaul by implementing something as simple and as basic as intelligent process optimization. Besides, you get all other AMD features of great graphics, smooth gaming and mind-blowing multimedia experience from this computer processors range from AMD.
