The document discusses the paradox of wanting both large experiences like high definition video and multi-touch interfaces as well as small form factors for devices. It introduces AMD Fusion APUs, which integrate CPU and GPU onto a single chip, as solving this paradox by providing discrete-level graphics performance while using less power in a smaller space. AMD Fusion APUs allow all-day battery life, personal supercomputing capabilities, and an HD 2.0 experience in thin and light PCs.

Hinweis der Redaktion
In the 1990s, personal computing was still in its infancy. Think back to your first laptop and its limitations: rudimentary communications such as email and slow modems, limited graphics capabilities and displays, and very limited battery life. Things began to improve in the 2000s as improved imaging technologies came to market, more content permeated the Internet and battery life slowly climbed. Today, we are entering the third era of x86 computing. Parallel computing that fully utilizes the GPU is required to take advantage of the vast amount of video content, dynamic display technologies and increasingly mobile products. Computing is no longer passive – it is now fully immersive and our Fusion technology promises an end user experience that is seen and felt.
Our Fusion APUs offer a clear advantage for the entire computing ecosystem. For our customers, APUs reduce complexity and enable innovative new product design possibilities due to their processing capabilities and overall power efficiency. For software developers, our technology is based on open standards easing application development and programmability. All of this translates into a compelling user experience for consumers who will now have access to thin and light PCs that last all day and offer amazing visual performance.
