AMD wants to go further and said that by 2014, the CPU and GPU will only really become one with the key to enhanced performance. The processor and compilers specially designed so decide as smart as possible to use the most appropriate units to speed up the calculations as much as possible.

AMD made the announcement during a meeting with investors and with the avowed aim to reassure the potential of the company in the long term. Already in the past she had done so by revealing his decision to attach the processor and graphics parts within a single die, what they call the APU and had been shocked to see Intel chips offer this type of two years before them.
