AMD Fusion will be delayed

Everything doesn’t go as smoothly here as it did at Bulldozer anymore.

AMD CEO Dirk Meyer, after being pleased to announce to the world that Bulldozer is being developed at a very good pace, has also revealed some information about the Fusion project. According to the announcement, Fusion-based processors will be delayed because the current yield rate is lower than what the engineers expected, so it definitely needs to be improved, which means a delay of about two months. These two months mean that the market start, originally dated for the first half of 2011, can be maintained, but it will probably be expected at the end of the semester, ie at the end of spring, at the beginning of summer. This gives a great chance that it will not be Llano from the Fusion family that will be on the market for the first time, but Ontario, which will have a place in Netbooks and Nettops. (Llanot will be manufactured with 32nm technology, while Ontario will be manufactured with 40nm technology.)

The LIano for desktop will include 2-4 processor cores, which will be based on the K10.5 architecture that forms the basis of the Phenom II series. In addition to the cores, there is also a DirectX11 compatible APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). With the Fusion family, two new mobile (FS1, FP1) and a new desktop (FM1) CPU sockets will also be released. The maximum power consumption of the processors has been positioned between 20 and 100 watts by the manufacturer. The new sockets also gave birth to a new series of chipsets, codenamed Hudson, and will likely run out in a south bridge as the north bridge is virtually in the processor.
By the way, samples of the Fusion product family are already being shipped to some partners and the feedback so far has been very positive despite the problems.
