Quickly after the acquisition of ATI AMD started talking about Fusion, a concept that would arrive in the second half of 2008 and lead to CPUs that feature integrated graphics. Fast forward to AMD's December analyst meeting and the Fusion project, although being delayed, is starting to take shape and is already aimed at giving birth to the Accelerated Processing Unit or APU.

The first AMD APU is codenamed Swift and will be a silicon chip built using the 45nm process. This Swift APU will feature a number of 'Stars' cores, one GPU core and a DDR3 memory controller and will be a or the central part of the 'Shrike' mobile platform which will follow the 'Puma' platform. The Swift is set to be introduced in the second part of 2009.

AMD is currently having quite a few issues with its first (native) quad-core processors, the server-oriented Barcelonas but it is already talking octo-cores which will come after the 45nm refresh of next year. Still waiting for the B3 revision of Barcelona AMD is set to aim high in the next couple of years and, following the release of its first 45nm CPUs, the Shanghai Opterons it will be preparing to introduce octo-core parts.

The 8-headed server beasts are codenamed 'Montreal' and will finally feature HyperTransport 3 and include 1MB of L2 cache per core and a shared L3 cache between 6 and 12MB. The Montreal line-up will consist of both octo- and quad-cores and will be paired up with boards powered by new chipsets like the AMD RD890S and RD870S. The ETA for the octo-cores is the first half of 2009 (delay period not included).

Na realidade ja andam a circular na net alguns rumores sobre a aquisiçao da AMD por parte de outro gigante...

O facto e que o plano de eles voltarem aos lucros foi por agua a baixo com todos os problemas que existem agora para os quad-core...

A tornar-se realidade uma possivel venda da AMD, espero que seja a SAMSUNG a comprar. Ao menos essa tem capacidade para lidar com a AMD (esta na mesma area de negocio semicondutores e com bastante experiencia) e deve ser capaz de restruturar de cima abaixo a empresa.

Qualquer outra empresa a comprar devera ser dificil manter as mesmas marcas (AMD e ATI) a fabricar...
