APU is the abreviation of "Accelerated Processing Unit". Basically it's a CPU with something else, usually a GPU, so when you buy 1 APU you are actually getting a CPU and a GPU all in 1 package. When he says that he will pair it with an HD6670 it is because APUs can be used in conjuction with a graphics card. Now, some GPUs (and I think the one in the HD6670 is one of them), are so similar to the one inside the APU that you can enable Crossfire with them, getting more performance. |
Yep.
I am still interested in the APUs especailly the new FM2 socket ones. But AMD is so secretive about it. They are supposed to be out in less than a month and we really don't have any reviews or benchmarks. Nor do we know what GPUs the new A12 APU will be able to crossfire with. Everyone is saying 30% performance boost, but I'll believe it when I see it...
