    The first microprocessor with built-in graphics processing unit from Advanced Micro Devices will not only feature up to four general purpose x86 cores, but will have DirectX 11-compatible graphics engine and will also be made using 32nm process technology, which should ensure relatively low power consumption.

    According to AMD’s latest notebook platform roadmap, AMD will launch Danube platform based on RS880M+SB8xxM chipset with up to 4 CPU cores and DDR3-1066MHz memory controller.

    Sabine platform with Llano APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) and DDR3-1600MHz is slated to be out by 2011. Llano is AMD’s 32nm CPU+GPU mobile chip. The AMD SB9xxM chipset enables Sabine platform to support USB 3.0, 16 USB ports, 6 SATA and etc.
    Noteworthily, Sabine platform will support DirectX 11 and UVD 3 Technology. We guess DirectX 11 will be quite mature and widely applicated for desktop platforms by 2011, and then AMD will introduce it to mobile platforms.

    Whoa, did they say four x86 CPU's, why would they want to do that? Is that a cheaper way to fool people.

    AMD Llano? Why Llano? I drive by the AMD HQ every day and I don't live in Llano, TX.

    x86 cores? FAIL. Beside that, great way to make people pay for worthless integrated graphics.












    And still no news from nVidia regarding either Direct X 10.1 and Direct X 11.

    Where did they get the x86 info? Can't see anything about it being x86 or x64 on this link :

    me thinks thinks he is reffering to the x86 architecture which is used in all cpus (well maybe except supercomputing [i wish i had a cray...] x86-64 as you can see is mainly a superset of the x86 architecture and is not the full blow x64 as IA64 was...

    This is not going to happen until 2011 so this isn't very exciting.

    Intel has already integrated the GPU (45 nm) with CPU (32 nm) on a single package and that is coming out later this year.
