One of the platforms discussed in the last year is certainly Fusion from AMD, especially as regards the marketing of the new processors Llano. In these hours, he was presented a comparison between this platform and that of the counterparty with Intel processors Sandy Bridge, making us hope for a rescue by AMD.
The challenge was conducted using a APU Llano AMD quad-core 1.8 GHz (A8-3510MX 6620M HD graphics) and Sandy Bridge architecture with Intel Core i7 2630QM HD 3000 Graphics dela same frequency, but with more Hyper-Threading and the Turbo Boost, which if necessary bring the frequency to 2.9 GHz The rest of the installation consisted of 4 GB of DDR3 memory, 128 GB SSD C300 and a 14 inch monitor with a resolution of 1366 x 768, all managed by Professional 64-bit Windows 7.
The tests were carried out using a 3D game, the HD video playback, 3D modeling and calculations in Excel, to the surprise of the new AMD has managed very well the workload than the Intel counterparts, especially in multi-tasking, where he also consumed less energy. Recall that even the drivers that came with the AMD Fusion architecture are in the initial state and given the ability of AMD in the development of the latter, the margin could be increased.
Hopefully AMD will decide to put on sale as soon as these processors, since Intel already expected in June to release the new processors with 22 micron technology. I leave you with a video that shows the tests performed.
