AMD Trinity
Abstract
For mainstream notebooks and desktops, Trinity is AMD's second-generation APU which features up to 2X the performance-per-watt over current A-Series APUs. These hybrid processors will have a new, DirectX 11-capable, second generation AMD Radeon HD 7000 series graphics core and two-four processor cores based on Piledriver microarchitecture – further continuation of AMD Bulldozer. Trinity will be manufactured with 32 nm process.
Piledriver microarchitecture promises to boost the performance by about 10% compared with Bulldozer. It should support new FMA3 and Converged BMI instructions as well as the third version of Turbo Core technology.
New for 2012, AMD will introduce a low voltage Trinity APU that will be ideal for the next-generation of ultrathin notebook. This Trinity APU matches the experience enabled by the AMD 2011 APU in up to half the TDP.
In the desktop segment Trinity processors will be part of Socket FM2 platform also known as Virgo.
AMD Trinity is scheduled to be officially announced in the middle of 2012.
