AMD Fusion
Encyclopedia
AMD Fusion is the marketing name for a series of APUs
by AMD
. There are two flavors of Fusion currently available, one with its CPU logic based on the Bobcat
core and the other its CPU logic based on the 10h core. In both cases the GPU logic is HD6xxx, which itself is based on the mobile variant of the Radeon HD 5xxx Series. Fusion was announced in 2006 and has been in development since then. The final design is the product of the merger between AMD
and ATI
, combining general processor execution as well as 3D geometry processing and other functions of modern GPUs (like GPGPU
computation) into a single die
. This technology was shown to the general public in January 2011 at CES
. In the same year AMD introduced Bulldozer
for Socket AM3+ and for the server market.
notebook market. It features the 40 nm AMD Ontario (a 9-watt APU for netbooks and small form factor desktops and devices) and Zacate (an 18-watt TDP APU for ultrathin, mainstream, and value notebooks as well as desktops and all-in-ones) APUs.
Both low-power APU versions feature two Bobcat
x86 cores and fully supports DirectX11, DirectCompute
(Microsoft
programming interface for GPU computing) and OpenCL
(cross-platform programming interface standard for multi-core x86 and accelerated GPU computing). Both also include UVD dedicated hardware acceleration for HD video including 1080p resolutions. This platform consists of:
processor line is the AMD Fusion C- and E-series. The C-series (C-30: single core, C-50: dual cores) has a TDP
(9 W) similar to the Atom, the higher clocked E-series (E-240: single core, E-350: dual core) comes with a TDP of 18 Watts what corresponds more to an Atom including a dedicated GPU (e.g. ION2, ATI 5430). The processors include a single or dual core 64-bit CPU with out-of-order execution, DDR3 memory controller and an 80-core Radeon
GPU. The performance for games is significantly better for the E-series - up to 326.5% better, although neither of the platforms is well suited for gaming.
Mainboard System RAM
Bios >> IGX Configuration >> UMA Frame Buffer Size
Frame buffer size is the total amount of system memory allocated solely for the onboard graphics controller. MS-DOS, for example, will use only this memory for display. Options are: Auto (default), 256MB,
512MB, 1024 MB.
Accelerated processing unit
An accelerated processing unit is a processing system that includes additional processing capability designed to accelerate one or more types of computations outside of a CPU. This may include a graphics processing unit used for general-purpose computing , a field-programmable gate array , or...

- Deccan is the codename for the Enhanced-Bobcat based platform. It is to replace Brazos platform.
- Processors for Deccan are to be manufactured on the 28 nm bulk process.
- The chipset series for Deccan is Yuba.
- For tablets, the power optimised Brazos T (Bobcat-based) will replace Brazos (AMD Z-01) platform.
- The tablet variant chipset is Hudson A55T FCH.
- Processors for Brazos-T are to be manufactured on the 40 nm process.
- The processor package will be revised from FT1 BGA package to FT2 BGA package. While for tablets, the processor package remains as FT1 BGA.
"Krishna" (28 nm), "Wichita" (28 nm), and "Hondo" (40 nm) (Cancelled)
- For the Budget desktop and notebook markets (18 W TDP), Krishna was scheduled to replace the Zacate based E-series. It was expected to be available in 2 to 4-core variants.
- For the Low-power/netbook markets (9 W TDP), Wichita was scheduled to replace the Ontario based C-series. It was expected to be available with 1 to 2 core versions.
- For the Tablet market (<4.5 W TDP), Hondo was scheduled replace the Desna based Z-series. It was also expected to be available with 1 to 2 core versions. AMD had scheduled Hondo to begin sampling in December 2011, and start production in Q2, 2012. Hondo is a low power re-architectured variant of Desna. It would have been still manufactured under the 40nm process by TSMC.
2013: Steamroller
- Steamroller is the codename for the new core design (Next-Generation Bulldozer based) that will replace the Piledriver cores in the A-series line.
- Indus is the mobile platform codename for the Steamroller based APU line. It is to replace the Comal mobile platform.
- The chipset for Indus will be codenamed Bolton.
- The processor package for the mobile variant will be revised from FS1r2 uPGA package to FS2 uPGA package.
Kaveri
Steamroller based APUs will be divided into versions for specific price-points and markets:- Kaveri APU covers the A8-, A6-, A4-, and E2-series of the 3rd generation Fusion APUs.
2013: Kerala and Samara
- Kerala is the codename for the Jaguar cores based platform. It is to replace the Enhanced-Bobcat cores based Deccan platform.
- The chipset for this platform is codenamed Yangtze.
- Samara is the codename for the Jaguar cores based tablet platform. It is to replace Brazos-T platform.
- The chipset for this tablet platform is codenamed Salton.
- The processor package will be remain as FT2 BGA package.
"Kabini" and "Samara"
- For the Budget desktop and notebook markets (18 W TDP), Kabini will replace the Krishna based E-series.
- For the Low-power/netbook markets (9 W TDP), Kabini will also replace the Wichita based C-series.
- For the Tablet market, Samara (codename also used for platform), will replace the Hondo based Z-series.
Competition
The direct competitor of the Intel AtomIntel Atom
Intel Atom is the brand name for a line of ultra-low-voltage x86 and x86-64 CPUs from Intel, designed in 45 nm CMOS and used mainly in netbooks, nettops, embedded application ranging from health care to advanced robotics and Mobile Internet devices...
processor line is the AMD Fusion C- and E-series. The C-series (C-30: single core, C-50: dual cores) has a TDP
Thermal Design Power
The thermal design power , sometimes called thermal design point, refers to the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate. For example, a laptop's CPU cooling system may be designed for a 20 watt TDP, which means that it can dissipate up to 20 watts of heat...
(9 W) similar to the Atom, the higher clocked E-series (E-240: single core, E-350: dual core) comes with a TDP of 18 Watts what corresponds more to an Atom including a dedicated GPU (e.g. ION2, ATI 5430). The processors include a single or dual core 64-bit CPU with out-of-order execution, DDR3 memory controller and an 80-core Radeon
