AMD talks up its first Fusion chip

[Hans de Vries]

Core = 9.69mm^2
Core + L2 ~ 1.5x of that? = ~15mm^2

So basically quadcore logic under 90mm^2 (+IMC,HTPad...)?


IMO the total die size should be 140-180mm^2 or so, but no longer do they have to sell it at $99- fetching double the price should be easy, not that it would be a good purchase for desktop.

For laptops though I think this should be their way in, especially with the emphasis on power management- seems to me that this is a laptop oriented design for the most part, being able to target $300+ ASPs that AMD could previously only dream about.

Later die pictures showed more GPU area so the die for so far is ~205mm^2
