AMD unveils new hybrid CPU and GPU chip

AMD has unveiled a new "Llano" hybrid processor that merges a 32-nm Phenom II quad core CPU and a full DX11 capable GPU into a single die. This is a far more sophisticated approach than that taken by Intel--which basically added a GPU chip into the same processor package. Not actual specification is available for Llano at this point, other than that the company is targeting sub-3GHz operation. AMD says that Llano will be sampling in the second half of this year, and should be available in 2011. Article
