We've been hearing about it for years but AMD is finally launching their Fusion architecture into the mid-range desktop market with the Lynx platform's A8 and A6 processors alongside A75 and A55 motherboards. These accelerated processing units (or APUs) integrate a quad core CPU, 400 shader GPU and fully functional Northbridge onto a single die to form and architecture that AMD hopes will combat Intel's Sandy Bridge. That's a tall order to fill but from the looks of things, the flagship A8-3850 has things well in hand.
