AMD confirms


Following our story that AMD Fusion, CPU-meets-GPU product will have to wait for 22nm, AMD got back to us denying the story. They said that all is on the schedule and that first Fusion part is still scheduled for 32nm and 2011.

AMD also claims that 2011 is the “right time for notebook platform and 32” and that we should call this part LIano and not Swift or Fusion. What can we do, we get sentimental and Fusion sounds better than anything.

AMD’s roadmap in 2010 won’t get any Fusion like part which will get AMD in a tough position as Intel starts shipping its Multi chip Processor Clarkdale / Arrandale 32nm CPU with IGP while AMD won’t have its own probably before middle of 2011.

The company also wanted to point that there were no any problems with 45nm and that the change was made as “2011 is the right time for notebook platforms to leverage the integrated approach and 32nm is the right node”. Yeah right.

Fusion GPU and CPU is 22nm
