PC World reports: “Advanced Micro Devices today introduced a high-end graphics card whose core will also be part of its next-generation Fusion processors.
The ATI Radeon 3870 X2 graphics card combines two chips from its predecessor, ATI Radeon 3870, on one board, doubling its performance, said Patrick Moorhead, vice president of advanced marketing at AMD. The ATI Radeon 3870 had one chip on the card. The chips, manufactured using the 55-nanometer process, are more power efficient and deliver better performance than the previous graphics processors, Moorhead said.
AMD will incorporate a graphics-processing core based on the X2 in its upcoming Fusion processor. Fusion will integrate a graphics processor and CPU (central processing unit) on one chip, said John Taylor, an AMD spokesman. There are no overt tie-ins between Fusion and the X2, but the graphics-processing cores are expected to be similar, Taylor said.” (more…)
