AMD Fusion gets four cores, GPU and 55W TDP

AMD will launch the Fusion program next year. With its first fully integrated processor with both CPU and GPU on the same silicon. New stories speak of a quad-core model with only 55 watt energy consumption.

Earlier stories have mainly spoken of dual-core models with an integrated GPU, but now Fudzilla reports on a Llano model of Fusion with four processor cores and 55 watt TDP. Something AMD, to some extent, revealed in its roadmaps a long time ago.

The dual-core models of Fusion is expected to consume between 20 and 40 watts, but there is no information on the clock frequencies or possible differences between the chips.

The quad-core Fusion processor will, as expected, be made with 32 nanometer technology and support DDR3 memory, but the launch date was not mentioned.
