How GPUs are made
These really are, as Paul Simon sang, the days of miracles and wonders. It seems almost impossible to believe that engineers have now managed to design and build a machine whose components measure as little as 40nm across. That’s just one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair.
Yet we’re making such devices right now. They’re called general processing units, and they’re starting to challenge the central processing unit for its long-held title of the most magical piece of engineering found in a computer.
What threat is the CPU facing? Consider a top-of-the-range [...]

AMD’s Phenom II X4 980 3.7Ghz Black Edition Processor
At only $195, it’s hard to deny that AMD’s new Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition desktop chip is a bargain. Its four cores hum along at 3.7GHz, the fastest base clock speed of any consumer CPU, and the unlocked multiplier should make it trivial for overclockers to push this beast to 4GHz and beyond. The 980 slides right into the same price point as the previous champ, the Phenom II X4 975, and knocks a few bucks off the former clock-frequency king. All of this seems like great news for AMD fans. Of course, if you’re starting from scratch and not just looking to upgrade an [...]

AMD’s Fusion family of APUs
At Computex 2010 AMD gave the first public demonstration of its Fusion processor that combines the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on a single chip. The AMD Fusion family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) not only adds another acronym to the computer lexicon, but ushers is what AMD says is a significant shift in processor architecture and capabilities.
AMD says combining the CPU, GPU, video processing and other accelerator capabilities in a single-die design provides more power-efficient processors that are better able to handle demanding operations [...]
