AMD shipped million Fusion's

[ajaidev]

"In December alone

AMD has apparently managed to ship a million Fusion APUs in December 2010, ahead of the product launch. "

Million Fusion's intel should be worried the single core sandy bridge CULV that i heard about long time back should materialize, but i know it may not because it was never approved.

[RaV666]

They probably unloaded all the stock they had in dec, because of the launch, all mainboard makers and system builders probably ordered before that, so it isnt exactly surprising.
If they will keep on quarter after quarter, that will be another thing ;-)

[Nikolasz]

Im allways fan for good products

[FlanK3r]

nice!

So when can I buy a mini-itx zacate board?

[Oliverda]

Who bought 1 million Fusions? Intel maybe?


I've read this on amdzone:

"Well its strange there are actual Fusion based platforms in my country (ex Emachines d644 im selling this here) and Acer doesn't ship it to America or Europe where it can make a great impact for AMD's new fusion platform.

I asked a marketing manager of the distributor for Emachines why? "Lots of pressure and gifts" is what he said. He wont elaborate further, but i get that a carrot and a stick approach is in force by a major CPU maker.... carrots for gifts and sticks for discipline... I realized that this major CPU supplier can still exert a heavy hand and rewards system outside of America where the majority of platform manufacturers are. (desktop and mobile - china and taiwan)"

I hope that it's not true.

Tell me about it, I have a need for a couple right now.

[qcmadness]

Now, in Hong Kong.

I'm surprised TSMC has that much 40 nm capacity.

Also, you can even buy Zacate mini-itx boards in Poland. If something new is available here, it must be friggin everywhere.

But these chips are pretty small, they must be getting a lot of dies from a wafer.

The fact that its supposedly out for over 2 months and have shipped lots says a lot when I haven't heard any news about it launching and haven't seen any reviews either.
If its true then and is doing something very wrong...

[Darakian]

asrock E350 is widely available by now

Got a link? I can't find it.

[freeloader]

I can't find an AMD Fusion ITX board in Canada either. There's a few listings here and there, but no stock.

[thebanik]

MSI fusion platform has been available in India for almost a month......

[SKYMTL]

Great for them. Now show us some broad availability.

i hope not because if it can be proved, then intel is in for a world of hurt.

edit...err regulatory hurt i mean.

[JkS]

I hope they start to innovate some more if they can bring in more cash, and push intel to innovate more!

[duploxxx]

Official launch date was Januari anyhow, so that is only 1 month.
I'll give a small hint towards availability, just like what will happen to Liano launch soon: Early target launch Asia Pac - JAP and China.

Sure some parts are moving towards other regions but the first fusion parts had the same focus. Other countries should have volume soon to, but it is widely known that even with choice and better solution general Emea and US consumers will take the known brand with the jingle dingle dong marketing.... Only people who focus on product knowledge will take another solution.

But this is still not "widely".

Even in Croatia boards are here, only asrock for now, giga in a week.
Time to build cheap HTPC

[saaya]

so with boards slowly showing up NOW, how did amd manage to sell over a million of cpus LAST YEAR already? 0_o

its quite possible, we have more netbooks for purchase than motherboards.

[Lightman]

ASUS available in U.K.

I found one listing at Scan.co.uk for £108 inc. VAT.
Also bunch of them on Ebay but at a tad higher price.
