CPU + GPU = APU | AMD APU | accelerated processing unit

AMD has introduced the new E-series ‘Zacate’, and C-series ‘Ontario’ APUs that use the Bobcat CPU core. The new APUs offer DirectX 11 graphics, UVD3 video acceleration, 1080p HD playback, 2D conversion to 3D and up to 10hrs battery life depending on system.



GPUs were underutilised by being used only for games and not for mainstream applications. The AMD APU that combines the GPU and CPU, has been designed to enhance Internet browsing, high-definition video and games. This kind of super computing which required 50 watt systems can now be done on 9 watt systems.

AMD also promises to increase battery efficiency with its fusion APUs. The power-saving features of the chip design enable your battery to last for over 10 hours, even while enjoying HD content,” claimed Ravi Swaminathan, MD and regional VP, AMD India . Moreover, the temperature is kept cool with a thermal envelope.

AMD is also planning to launch its A-series, which would enable 500 gigaflops of computing power.
