Advanced Micro Devices' way towards Fusion of central processing units and graphics processing units has been long, but it seems to be about paying off as the company announces an ultra-low power accelerated processing unit with as low as 17.5W power consumption amid high level of performance to arrive in 2012.
"We plan to introduce a version of Trinity that will consume less than 50% the power of today's lowest power, 35W Llano APU, bringing performance computing to the ultra-thin notebooks," said Thomas Seifert, interim chief exec of AMD, during the discussion of financial results of the company with financial analysts.
Trinity is the first microprocessor that AMD showcased physically that features the company's next-generation Bulldozer x86 processing engines along with a new-generation Radeon graphics engine (presumably utilizing VLIW4 micro-architecture). Apparently, it has a lot of advantages beyond performance over current products.
"We put out a pretty interesting power-consumption specification. I don't know if we really want to go into more details about that product at this time, other than the fact that we're going to continue to invest in leading in the mobile space," said Mr. Seifert.

Can't wait for it to be delayed to 2014.

If they can hit power consumption levels like that, then they have a hit on their hands.

Wonder if that would be a single module/dual core chip.

I can't wait for AMD's Trinity. Oh Yes I think AMD will RULE in 2012 and no it will not get delayed. I plan on a getting an AMD PC in 2012 because Intel Won't have anything better.

Intel has Ivy Bridge 22nm chip out in 2012 and it will be better BUT, AMD's chips will have faster graphics so Intel will win in the high end and AMD will win in the middle/low end ( where the money is at )
All in all it puts AMD in a good place moving forward.

cant we get past needing AMD to rule the roost? their chips are strong, and competitive. asking more with their track record is asking a lot. aside from that it doesnt matter what your build is you always get a good pc whoever you build from.

once AMD's moved to 32nm and new design fpr all its cores we will really have some nice PC's on the market from both intel and AMD
win for the shoppers .. US!

The truth is that yes, the most important aspect of this is for AMD to be able to launch the product as soon as possible or ... on schedule (not the destroy the sales of their current products)() and not delay it.

Intel will have NOTHING better that doesn't use a lot of power. Remember Intel unlike AMD doesn't always deliver on their so called promises. Although AMD doesn't promise the undo-able unlike Intel. Remember Sandy Bridge is faster but uses 50% to almost double in order to get there.
