Taken during the official Malaysian launch of AMD Fusion APU that took place yesterday, AMD showed off the power of the upcoming AMD Llano APU through this interesting video demo. Presented by Bob Grim, the director of AMD's Client Product Marketing, it pitted the upcoming AMD A8-3510MX APU against the 2.0GHz Intel Core i7-2630QM through several tests which comprises of Final Fantasy benchmark, HD video playback, Excel spreadsheet calculations and an OpenGL benchmark.
At a glance, it seemed like a fair comparison but then, not much is known about the upcoming A8-3510MX APU apart from that it is quad-core processor as per the Intel Core i7 and it also has AMD Radeon HD 6620M GPU built into it. Hence, it is pity that the Llano APUs - also officially known as the A-Series -themselves were not around during the launch event yesterday or else, we would be able to verify the test right away.
Nevertheless, it still show how much power the upcoming AMD Llano APU packs and to some extent, the test results are much more clearer compared to the first Llano APU demo that took place back in October last year. The AMD Llano Fusion APU is expected to be available on market by the middle of this year.
