AMD Kaveri A10-7850K and A8-7600 review: Was it worth the wait for the first true heterogeneous chip?
2014-01-14 14:00:52| Extremetech
Seven and a half years ago, AMD announced that it would acquire graphics chip manufacturer ATI as part of its long-term strategic vision. AMD's business case for the ATI acquisition rested on a vision of the future in which GPUs shared die space with the CPU and could be tapped as advanced co-processors within specific workloads. AMD dubbed its new plan "Fusion," and promised to ship silicon by 2011. Three more years of innovation, and we have today's Kaveri, arguably the first APU to fully deliver the vision AMD articulated back when DirectX 9 was standard and programmable GPUs had yet to hit the market.
