AMD: Fusion not the end for low-end GPUs

Posted on Friday, June 18 2010 @ 22:42 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
AMD revealed low-end graphics cards will continue to exist even after the launch of the firm's first Fusion processors:
Even though performance and the amount of capabilities of integrated graphics processors (IGPs) that are either parts of core-logic sets or central processing units (CPUs) are constantly improving, there will always be a place for low-end standalone graphics processing units (GPUs), believes ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices.

“We will have low-end graphics cards because they still bring value to the end-user. We will make sure that this message comes out once we launch Fusion Llano products,” said Shaila Bansal, a senior product manager for mainstream graphics at AMD’s graphics division.
