Topic: AMD Fusion - Llano GPU (Read 2990 times)
I want one just to see how high the 32nm gpu can OC >_>
The MH/watt should be much better than GPUs, especially for the mobile version. I'd like to see one with 2x the shaders and half the cpu cores.
If it was sitting in your system anyway, and you nabbed a lower wattage one, mobile version, what have you... per watt expended the half of that cpu die that is a gpu would be more efficient then any other cpu out there. So in essence a little baby llano could take a 6 core i7 with ease I would imagine. (in mining duties)
Hi All,
I've just read this article on ars http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/06/amd-launches-second-fusion-cpu-gives-glimpse-at-future-of-cpugpu.ars
I was wondering if this would be a useful CPU for bitcoin mining once it becomes available, they say it has 400 shader units which would surely be capable of quite a few MH/s
It seems that most miners don't bother with utilizing the CPU due to the KW/h vs MH/s problems but with a CPU being a necessary component would it be worth using one of these for a mining rig and gain that little bit of extra performance.
