The Chinese name of APU is acceleration processor. It is a product of AMD's integrated concept. It is the first time that the processor and independent graphics core are built on one chip. It has the processing performance of both high-performance processor and the latest independent graphics card, and supports DX11

The "accelerated computing" of games and the latest applications greatly improves computer operating efficiency and realizes the true integration of CPU and GPU.

In January 2011, AMD will launch a revolutionary product, AMD APU, which is the first product with AMD Fusion technology.

In addition, APU is the English abbreviation of Auxiliary Power Unit, Japan's Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Mechanical Armored Infantry and Anti-Pocket Alliance.

A brand-new processor architecture division. The Bulldozer architecture focuses on performance and scalability and is oriented to mainstream client and server fields; the Bobcat architecture focuses on flexibility, low power consumption and small size, and will be used for low-power devices and small devices.

, cloud client.

The Bobcat architecture is the basis of the Fusion APU fusion processor. The real products include "Zacate" and "Ontario" products.

The difference between these two products is that "Zacate" has a TDP of 18W and is mainly aimed at the thin and light PC market, competing against Intel's ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) series processors, while "Ontario" has a TDP of 9W and is mainly targeted at netbooks.

Against the Atom series processors, the Meijie SY-E350 tested this time uses the "Zacate" core.

Detailed introduction to APU fusion technology APU's Chinese name is acceleration processor. It is a product of AMD's fusion concept. It is the first time that the processor and independent graphics core are built on one chip. It has the advantages of both high-performance processor and the latest independent graphics card.

The processing performance supports "accelerated computing" of DX11 games and the latest applications, greatly improving computer operating efficiency and realizing the true integration of CPU and GPU.

The secret of APU's powerful performance lies in its innovative core architecture, the latest video decoding engine, ultra-small chip and ultra-low power consumption design, and powerful display performance.

AMD believes that the integration of CPU and GPU will be divided into four steps: The first step is the physical integration process (Physical Integration), integrating the CPU and GPU on the same silicon chip, and using high-bandwidth internal bus communication to integrate high-speed

High-performance memory controller enables heterogeneous computing with open software systems.

The second step is called Optimized Platforms. The interconnection interface between the CPU and the GPU is further enhanced, and bidirectional power management is unified. The GPU also supports high-level programming languages. This part is the most critical.

The third step is Architectural Integration to achieve unified CPU/GPU addressing space, GPU use of pageable system memory, GPU hardware schedulable, and CPU/GPU/APU memory coordination. This has been initially completed in the APU.

The fourth step is Architectural & OS Integration. The main features include GPU computing environment switching, GPU graphics priority computing, PCI-E collaboration of independent graphics cards, real-time integration of parallel task running, etc. These require cooperation with Microsoft and ADOBE

Continuous communication with other industry software giants.

What is an APU?

APU is the result of AMD's years of research on fusion technology. Most floating-point operations in traditional computing are separated from the CPU and transferred to the GPU part that is good at this. GPU is no longer just a gaming tool, hybrid computing will shine.

In the not-too-distant future, the concepts of CPU and GPU will gradually blur, as AMD promotes: The Future is Fusion.
