Look at this new design and compare it to cell.

Cell = One GP PPC core (PPE) plus eight stream-optimized compute cores (SPE)

Llano = Four GP amd64 cores plus lots of stream processors.

So what's new here? Scalability and cost with software compatibility.

Yes please.

You must be a California transplant. There are some odd pronunciations of words around here, but having lived in Austin 25 years and also working on this project.........just pronounce it with a short a and long o.

Pronounce Aero as "E-I-E-I-O'

As much as I love AMD they do stupid things.

No one particular cares if its integrated or not. AMD likes to talk up how their GPU is truly integrated with their CPU as if that alone is superior to Intel's design. AMD makes a superior GPU to Intel's thats well known.

Let me point out that you can buy a CPU/GPU from Intel today but you cant buy one from AMD. AMD should have done the same as Intel and slapped the GPU and CPU on the chip and connect the two then work on integrating the two.

AMD did the same BS with their dual core chips waiting until they were really integrated together while Intel just slapped them together and worked on integrating them later.

AMD lost a possible advantage AGAIN because of moronic ignorance. Im convinced AMD likes announcing something new then being beat to the punch.

Just to keep people pronouncing things the Texas way, 'Llano' is the name of a river near Austin, Texas. Those of you who know the Spanish languge may think you know how to pronounce the name. Those of you who are non-Texas Americans may pronounce it a different way but Texans pronounce it the Texas way. It is pronounced 'lonno with the a an 'l' as in legs, 'o' and 'n' sounds as in the name Don, and a long 'o' sound as in the name 'Joe'. Things in Texas are rarely pronounced as one would expect.

The_Countess is right. This offering is about integrating the GPU into the chip and reducing power consumption. They're showing their roadmap.

If, as I expect, the GPU becomes the main compute engine then this is the way to go: an array of simpler processors.

In later spins AMD can beef up the GPU and make the CPU lower power as it'll idle most of the time anyway.

i think most of you above me are missing the point, even with a somewhat dated core this chip could give intel a run for its money on such divers fields as video-encoding, compression, encryption, ect at a fraction of the power use. provided that the openCL or computshader software becomes available by then of course (and with the potential increase in performance i dont think it will take all that long)

I don't want my GPU integrated with my CPU. No thanks.

Then again, I'm the guy who was happy enough with Quake 2 graphics in software rendering mode...

While AMD's approach may be more "sophisticated," is the benefit of doing this enough to outweigh using a dated core architecture? There has not been a major revamp of the core in quite some time. Granted, a lot of that is due to some very good decisions made early on in the Athlon design process, but they seem stuck playing second fiddle to Intel in a lot of respects now. If they want to regain market control, they have to out-engineer Intel...not an easy task and certainly one they won't do with current architecture.

Integrating graphics into an aging core isn't going to make a dramatic turnaround for them. With any luck they are using this as a learning experience so that it's seamlessly integrated into a new and completely redesigned core...but I won't hold my breath.

"This is a more sophisticated approach than Intel's at present, in which it simply adds a GPU chip to the processor package and calls that 'integrated'."

I would say that they added a north-bridge to the processor package.
