AMD Llano APU shipments up to 8 million this year

According to sources from motherboard makers, after the release of AMD Llano APU in June this year, shipments exceeded one million units in the same month, followed by a further 1.3-1.5 million units in July, with the expansion of production capacity and more models. Follow-up, cumulative shipments in 2011 are expected to reach 7.5-8 million.

However, due to priority to ensure the supply of notebook manufacturers, Llano APU in the desktop retail market is still not optimistic about the status of the supply, at least until today still disappeared. It is reported that the supply of Llano APU will return to normal by the end of August. Whether this can be achieved will only wait and see.

According to the plan, the AMD 40nm Ontario C series and Zatcat E series APUs are mainly for the entry level market. The 32nm Llano APU is for the midrange mainstream desktops and notebooks, while the high-end sector is for the 32nm AM3+FX series bulldozers.

In 2012, entry-level APUs will be upgraded to Krishna adopting TSMC's new 28nm process. The mainstream market will be upgraded to Trinity, which incorporates the bulldozer architecture. The high-end area will be Komodo, which is an enhanced version of up to ten core bulldozers. Both are still GlobalFoundries 32nm processes. manufacture.
