Hey guys, Saw this awesome little article on Extreme Tech. Engineers have managed to take an AMD “Trinity” APU and reduced the CPU portion to a pre-fetch/decode unit, while the GPU is used as the main computation unit. This brings massive gains in floating point performance as GPU’s are massively parallel processors. These engineers out [...]
