As we prepare the special presentation on the AMD Fusion A i'll leave you with some of the milestones that AMD has been released and you want to achieve soon. These are goals that will improve the efficiency of current AMD Fusion in several respects very different. As always, any improvement is welcome.
We've said lots of times that Fusion is AMD's big bet, and this is checked once they publish what is expected of Fusion within the future years, namely in 2014 (which seems far but it's not really much). Then the Fusion CPU and GPU will continue on the very same chip with shared memory to improve communication between processors and the designation of APU. It will be what we have now and several interesting developments.
First, it will have some improvements at the programming amount of applications optimized for AMD Fusion as well as for this for being implemented in C + + language widely used. NVidia presently has support for a number of language C, so the new AMD became a logical step.
Secondly, given some changes in the memory, and I quote: "be unified address space of memory and coherent shared memory per CPU and GPU, so they operate seamlessly together." To put it differently, cooperation between the CPU and GPU will improve since the communication channel relating to the two processors evolve.
But for the third and last place - for now - there'll be some changes that permit the consumer to determine what processes which manage the CPU and GPU others. Hopefully this is not entirely manual which most is automated by way of operating-system kernel level.
The future of AMD Fusion
As we discussed, a couple of the 3 proposals are actually published are for software upgrades, while the remainder is definitely an internal element of the chip. They might take a small impact at least in comparison with what's going to become the hardware 2014. 3 years? This can have advanced a lot.
Still no information on what's going to be the market as long term, but starting to glimpse the new for 2012. AMD Fusion will continue to evolve and also have the following news:
Piledriver AMD, Fusion would be the evolution of Llano. Be in line with the Bulldozer cores but APU formats. It will have three versions called Trinity, Weatherford and Richland sorted from highest to lowest power, and successors towards the Llano A8, A6 and A4 respectively.
AMD Fusion Krishna would be the successor from the current Fusion E, led through the popular E-350 Fusion-oriented desktops and small equipment room.
Finally, AMD Fusion Wichita will be the evolution of Ontario, now known as Fusion C and centered on ultra.
Both Krishna and Wichita might get in 28 nanometers, while Piledriver could keep the 32 today. Strange that Intel has jumped straight to the 22 nm and AMD need to make an intermediate step.
This news that we have discussed here make reference to next year, ie over 2012. Logic would have us believe that in 2013 everything will remain similar, perhaps with some improvement within the manufacturing process (22 or 28 nm for those Fusion models) not to mention better in most respects.
Besides the stated previously will be stick to see what AMD offers within the graphics: graphics cards AMD 8000 Series 7000 and also the 9000 will really return in 2014.
