QUOTE(zellleonhart @ Jul 9 2011, 01:49 AM) I already know AMD's Llano APU is CPU+GPU under one processor, but my friend told me the 2nd gen Intel Sandy bridge has GPU inside the processor too, so what's the difference of the two? I thought he meant integrated graphics on motherboard but he showed me a website and some diagrams of the sandy bridge architecture, it appears that there is really GPU in sandy bridge. Anyone can enlighten me? ADDON: something like this  I am AMD supporter (never had a intel rig before to be honest) so I'm eager to know what are the differences. well...i show the Llano's pic here also..haha..the further news pls read on : http://www.anandtech.com/show/4444/amd-lla...-apu-a8-3500m/2 Added on July 10, 2011, 10:49 pmwell..i'm actually waiting for super budget Llano dual core + no OS laptop build..then can save the extra $$ to throw in a SSD..kekekezz i think with the SSD, it will gives more superior experience then a quad-core based laptop.. (p/s: i juz like most of the laptop users where 80% of the time, we utilize our laptop for web browsing,watch movie and office work  ) This post has been edited by siaokialeong: Jul 10 2011, 10:49 PM

QUOTE(ridzOe @ Jul 10 2011, 11:20 PM) yup even anandtech also mentioned about the low power consumption of the oem laptop they reviewed. lolx..i didn't hope it will be 6 hours, if for average use, the batt can last up to 4 hours, i'll be damn super happy + satisfy edi XDD Added on July 10, 2011, 11:39 pmQUOTE(nightzstar @ Jul 10 2011, 11:26 PM) how much will it cost? very tempting the specs.  wait la...hehe..wait for the dual core + NO OS build..hehe..by then, i think we can have the laptop with SSD hardisk at around RM2k, THE REAL affordable & decent-performance laptop..woohoo XDD This post has been edited by siaokialeong: Jul 10 2011, 11:41 PM

QUOTE(FullMetalBoy @ Jul 11 2011, 01:23 AM) they are in the same package not on the same die. the amd gpu's cant access memory cache(L2) of the cpu but can access the system memory. they all on the same die..AMD allocate each core an individual L2 cache without L3 shared cache as in Intel Architecture..For AMD, the GPU communicate with CPU via IMC..i dunno how to explain thoroughly, perhaps some Pro can enlighten us    by the way.. two die on a single package look like this:  single vs two...

QUOTE(FullMetalBoy @ Jul 11 2011, 02:07 AM) i was referring to the westmere. the westmere put 2 different silicon onto the same cpu package under 1 heat spreader. one for the cpu and one for the gpu. in sandy bridge theres only one silicon consist of both cpu and gpu on the same silicon die. OIC..found an interesting article discuss on the CPU/GPU communication path.. http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/p/56168/402191.aspxIn summary,Intel has more advance connection path but sucky GPU, in contrast, AMD has an inferior/less effective CPU/GPU interconnection system but backup by a powerful GPU (which means that AMD's current design could not fully unleash its integrated GPU power) This post has been edited by siaokialeong: Jul 11 2011, 02:23 AM
