AMD 2010 Computex press conference video on-demand - demo of Fusion Accelerated Processing Units

At yesterday’s Computex Press Conference, AMD unveiled their first demo of Fusion APU - the integration of the CPU and GPU into a single die.

From AMD’s senior vice president of technology & development, Rick Bergman,  “This explosion in multimedia requires new applications and new ways to manage and manipulate data. Low resolution video needs to be up-scaled for larger screens, HD video must be shrunk for smart phones, and home movies need to be stabilized and cleaned up for more enjoyable viewing. When AMD formally launches the AMD Fusion family of APUs, scheduled for the first half of in 2011, we expect the PC experience to evolve dramatically.”

The first APUs are expected to ship in the first half of 2011,  the 32nm “Llano”  for desktops and the 40nm “Ontario” for notebooks/netbooks.  Microsoft is actively working with AMD for high performance DX11.

The on-demand press conference video is available here.
Bergman starts speaking about the APU at about 44 min into the press conference.  Importantly (to me) he or colleagues mention growing support for OpenGL and OpenCL!

Below is a demo of an early prototype Fusion mobile(?) processor playing a DX11 game.
