AMD: Bringing "Torrenza" and "Fusion" Together

[iMav]

AMD leads the way with accelerated CPUs but Intel is not far behind

This week at CeBIT 2007, AMD revealed more details about its "accelerated computing" platform, codenamed Torrenza. AMD's goal behind Torrenza is to create a platform where application-specific processors can interact cost effectively and offer better performance than a general purpose CPU, while remaining compatible with off the shelf platforms.

AMD guidance revealed this week that future processors will also have integrated "accelerators" embedded into them. A Torrenza system will have at least two sockets, and both will accept accelerators and accelerated CPUs.

One accelerated-processor project on AMD plate, slated for 2008 under the codename Fusion, and combines a dedicated GPU or GPU accelerator onto the same package or even the same silicon die as the main CPU. AMD has already set the ground-work for Fusion processing with its Stream Computing initiative -- utilizing ATI-based graphics adaptors for heavy number crunching.

I preffer Intel

[nishant_nms]

AMD me

The best 4 me.. Intel 4 nw

Intel did had some problems earlier ... but they came pretty well with C2D...
Intel for me till now.....unless AMD really produces a Kick ass processor
