For some reason, Advanced Micro Devices didn't score many design wins with its Fusion architecture, even though the Llano accelerated processing units weren't half bad.
Now, everyone seems to be anticipating the Trinity APUs, as if the Llano barely had any significance. It goes to show how something can g... |

If ultrabooks do become the second coming of netbooks, it will be mainly because Intel stubbornly spurred them on, as well as the companies in a position to make them. That Intel is working together with PC makers for the development and mass production of ultrabooks is hardly news. Still, what the Santa Clara, Ca... |
