All the fun and interesting. A recent message that the chip LIano, schematic diagram is shown in the picture will be produced on 32nm process technology, but now the source wrote that Ontario, a cheap version of AMD Fusion, will actually be released on 40 nm process technology.
In 2009 and 2010 most of the new graphics solutions will be 40 nm, so it's no surprise that AMD plans to release 40 nm APU, but the trick is that dual-core processor, which is located inside of the chip should be 40 nm, or it will produce a separate, and then embedded in a chip. Second went by Intel processors Arrandale and Clarkdale. This method means that one chip is easy to install two cores, for example, processing core 45nm and 40 nm GPU. If AMD goes on the first path, then it will have to relocate existing dual-core processors on 40 nm architecture that looks quite difficult.
According to available data, Ontario is a dual-core solution with an integrated GPU, support for DDR3 and DDR3L 1.35V and will be delivered in the body BGA. All this will be part of the platform Brazos. In any case, Ontario will be a very interesting chip, but the source insists that he will enter the market no earlier than 2011.
History of Fusion still coming to a happy outcome. Discussions about this project, AMD has since 2006, since the acquisition of ATI. Around the time and had the idea of "grow together" video card and processor, combine on a single chip graphics and computer components to increase system performance through the efficient distribution of data flow and simultaneously reduce the size of the system. The original release of the first representative of the Fusion is scheduled for 2008, then was postponed to the 2009/2010 year, then was canceled. Release 32nm LIano planned for 2011, and in all probability, he still held.
Creating a CPU + GPU on one chip, more difficult than anticipated a few years ago, AMD, and now producer incurs losses because of his arrogance and claims that he has a technological advantage. In general, these developments will lead to more productive and light notebooks and mobile Internet devices, but, as already mentioned, you first need to solve a couple of technical problems.
