acer core i3 notebook: AMD Llano Desktop A8-3850 review: banging on Intel's door

21.05.05Reinventing itself rather, AMD launched a new notebook processor a couple of weeks ago. Known once upon a time by the codename of Llano, this new chip combines up-to four Phenom II-typewrite CPU cores and a low-end Radeon HD 5500-like GPU on one bit of silicon. The benefits for bringing the CPU and GPU together on a notebook party line are considerable. Released with standard 35W and 45W TDPs and differentiated by the ordinary array of speeds and feeds, our review of an AMD-supplied Llano notebook found that the firm APU technology would work well if the likes of Dell, HP and Acer took it on.... This is why both AMD and Intel's latest chips - and they all use integration of CPU and GPU - period the consumer and mobile markets with a similar processor architecture, albeit tweaked for object. Intel's Sandy Bridge desktop chips, for warning, are practically identical in design to the mobile offerings, though more power is enabled by the larger thermal budget.
