From Wikipedia on the AMD Fusion: PerformanceIt is expected a speed increase in both CPU and GPU processing with Fusion. As the CPU and GPU will be on the same die, the information transfer between the CPU and GPU/GPU memory will be significantly increased since there will be no need for the information to travel on a bus as there is with current motherboards—resulting in the GPU able to shunt far more data than on the PCI Express bus, due to significantly larger amounts of bandwidth available. |
Yup, but that's not all. Combining CPU and GPU into one chip also means cheaper hardware, much less hardware compatibility issues and no need for upgrades!!! Basically it nearly kills the 3 reasons that some people have against PCs.
