AMD’s upcoming E-series E-300 and E-450 Accelerated Processing Units have started appearing in specifications of various notebooks.
They have made a debut in specs of the Acer Aspire 7250 which will come with either E-300 and E-450, while the latter is also present in the Dell Inspiron M102z, Asus K53BY, and HP Pavilion G4.
AMD launched today the Fusion Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) that integrate CPU, graphics processor, HD video decoder, and memory controller in a single die.
The first Fusion APUs are the E-Series “Zacate” units, designed for mainstream notebooks, all-in-one, and small form factor desktop PCs, and the C-Series “Ontario” for HD-capable netbooks and other emerging form factors. “Zacate” and “Ontario” belong to the “Brazos” mobile platform and are built upon “Bobcat” x86 CPU cores.
