For years, AMD is pushing the idea of treating CPU and GPU equally when comes to computing power through the concept called “heterogenous computing”. With the release of Kaveri, AMD has gotten all of the interconnect between the CPU and the GPU worked out so that it can finally treat the CPU and GPU as equal partner and delivers the true “heterogenous computing” that it has set to achieve. With Kaveri, AMD has further refined the Bulldozer microarchitecture that is now in its third generation. Codenamed Steamroller, the CPU on the Kaveri is able to deliver a better performance at lower power consumption.
