APUs or Accelerated Processing Units are processors targeted to mobile devices recently released by AMD that have a CPU, a GPU and a north bridge (including a memory controller) in the same die. AMD wants to end the stigma that their mobile CPUs dissipate a lot of heat and have lower battery life compared to Intel’s counterparts. In the pictures below you can see what AMD showed us. As you can see, the laptop using the Intel Atom was dissipating 101º F (38.3º C) on its keyboard area and 93.4º F (34.1º C) on its exhaust area, while the laptop using the AMD APU was dissipating 91.8º F (33.2º C) on its keyboard area and 82.6º F (28.1º C) on its exhaust area. click to enlarge Intel Atom click to enlarge Intel Atom click to enlarge AMD APU click to enlarge AMD APU Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark Article | Comments (0)
