IDF 2007: 10X boost
Intel has confirmed that once it goes
to 32 nanometre it will be ready to make its first real CPU meets
GPU, Fusion chip.
Nehalem makes it possible as once you
move the memory controller on the CPU, the graphics wants to be
there. It is not clear if the first Intel's CPU+GPU will be two cores
on a die or two packages but the next generation one looks like it
will all be on a single chip.
32 nm CPU+GPU will come in 2010 and it
will offer a 10X performance increase over Intel's current integrated solutions, and it will be a native design.
The way we understood in 45 nanometre
we are talking about Nehalem CPU and a GPU on a single chip that has
been developed separately while in 32 nanometre they make them
together from the day one.
