AMD announced that its A75 and A70M Fusion chipsets will be the first certified 'Superspeed USB' chipsets. Translated into plain English that means they will support the 5Gbps USB 3.0 interface.

By bringing USB 3.0 support into its Fusion chipsets, AMD has become the first chip firm to integrate a USB 3.0 controller into its silicon. Even though Intel is on the panel that designed the USB 3.0 interface, it has yet to announce a chipset that supports the interface, instead focusing on its Light Peak interface, now known as Thunderbolt.

USB 3.0 does provide backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and that's what AMD will play on as it promotes Fusion.

AMD Chipsets Will be the First to Support USB 3.0

AMD Fusion USB3.0

Thats a good start for the notebooks using amd chipset. Does this mean when bulldozer arrives we're getting USB3.0 mobos as well ?
While AMD maybe the first to finish off what Intel and USB 3.0 is fast now, isnt Thunderbolt better since it has 10gb/s transfer rate ?

they revive their FX moniker...
now im scare with the price...

Woah. Llano quad core also below 700 USD. Is it gonna be more than 500? :S

Zacate is good but not revolutionary. I hope to see Llano's IGP perform better, much better than Intel's SNB.

AMD's FX "Bulldozer" CPU Clock Speeds Revealed



While AMD is rather cautious in its official statements in regards to anything related to the upcoming CPU offerings based on the next-generation Bulldozer architecture, unofficial sources leak more and more information. This is not a surprise, as the launch is drawing near. Now a Chinese website published excerpts from datasheets explaining the technical specifications of various Bulldozer samples. These are not the usual engineering samples we are talking about here (those are ticking at 1.8 and 2.6GHz), but samples of actual products that are going to be launched on June 7, 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan.

AMD's busy June launch schedule leaks - Zambezi, Llano are all in

It's no secret that AMD is planning for some major releases before this quarter ends, but the exact time line has only been suggested. Thankfully, now the schedule for AMD's June offensive has leaked online so everyone can mark their calendars and make plans for potential upgrades.

The whole AMD-flavored madness will begin on June 1st at Computex where the company will reveal its Sabine notebook platform (powered by the Llano A-Series APUs), the 900 Series chipsets (there will be FM1 parts for Llano and AM3+ parts for Zambezi/FX Series CPUs), and the VISION 2011 line (basically includes all desktop/notebook/netbook platforms for this year).

Moving forward to June 7th, this is the day on which AMD will officially unveil the FX Series processors (Zambezi) and the AM3+ platform. The 6/8-core Zambezi chips will have their debut at E3 in Los Angeles.

On June 13 the AMD-supported Fusion Developer Summit will kick off in Seattle and will, of course, focus on the Fusion ecosystem. Nothing all that exciting for the regular user but there may be some interesting software announcement made.

Last but not least, on June 14, AMD will hold in Seattle the 'Client Launch Event' for both the Sabine (notebook) and Lynx (desktop) platforms, and the VISION 2011 offering. Expect a heap of announcement on the 14th since partners will get the green light to reveal their Sabine/Lynx-based products.

As you can see there will be two fiery AMD weeks in June so don't book any time off. We sure won't.

by seen that price system,can it fusion with dedicated graphic card like hybrid crossfire?

AMD Radeon HD 6550 detailed. It will come with Fusion A8-3550 and A8-3550P Processors. It has 400 shader processors and the default GPU speed is 594MHz. Consumers can use Turks based discrete graphics card such as Radeon HD 6570 and Radeon HD 6670 with Radeon HD 6550 in dual graphics mode and AMD called Radeon HD 6550 + Radeon HD 6670 as Radeon HD 6690.
